Fresh from South Africa is Xai Xai. This new wine bar on West 51st Street in Hell's Kitchen is situated just off Ninth Avenue. On a recent visit the place was buzzing. And with good reason. It has a great vibe and a sleek design, with lots of exposed brick and huge timbers as beams. Candlelit tables provide the romance. Not to mention the nearly 100 wines and nibbles from South Africa! more
