Mamoun’s is open until 4 a.m. everyday, 365 days a year. If you can get over the dim lighting, exotic wall decorum, and quietly mumbling waiters, then you should consider Mamoun’s for a late-night snack between parties; however, FM would definitely stick to the falafel...

But Delisle, through the simple use of charcoal, ink and dialogue bubbles, captures aspects of life in North Korea that tend to elude observers in other media. Like light.

On the oppposing wall hang blown-up “drunken” snapshots, lit by the dim glow of a red fabric chandelier. A cluster of dangling plastic circles and thin red fabric adorn the ceiling, a red shag rug the floor, and a full-length mirror the far wall. “We like to strut before we go out,” Matsui says...
