Mariposa

Mariposa is a global small plates restaurant inside the Mint Museum Uptown, serving shareable mezze-style dishes, cocktails and wines inspired by flavors from around the world. Signature dishes include Piri Piri Chicken, Octopus a la Plancha, Tuna Poke Tacos and Gullah Paella, and the menu is built around travels by owner Jill Marcus.

Lunch, dinner, happy hour and a live jazz brunch on Sundays are all served, with Artful Evenings and live music on Thursdays. Parking is in the Levine Center for the Arts garage on Brooklyn Village Avenue, where the flat fee is $10 after 5 PM and on weekends, though a spot is not guaranteed when the lot is full. Gift cards are available, and the restaurant can host large parties and special events.
