Native Sun rising: New York's own shook the very foundations of heaven at Moroccan LoungePhotographs by Alyson Camus Tucked into an otherwise non-descript location on the northern fringes of LA’s Arts District is the Moroccan Lounge, a beige stucco edifice minimally adorned to recall the distinct architectural styles and intrinsic mysticism of the North African nation from which it takes its name.
