Figured some of the Latin food lovers like Glass would be interested in this development.
Not sure if it's a chain of sorts...says it's a Brooklyn based restaurant
Should be a welcomed addition at any rate

I have a feeling that Afreaux will just end up living there.

I thought it was a chain, but I could be wrong. Wasn't there a bunch of push back from the neighborhood?

Yeah this was a long fight for the owner and I'm glad he finally won. I think he fought a small well funded little group for 2.5 years.

Is this related to Habana Outpost? Legit query.
Posted on 3/14/15 at 4:42 pm to lsuwontonwrap
Or Cafe Habana City in Lafayette?
Posted on 3/14/15 at 6:01 pm to lsuwontonwrap
Yes. This will be a smaller version of Habana Outpost. Same owner.

I love Cuban food. Looking forward to trying this place.

I really hope they maintain authenticity.
BTW, have you (or anyone) been to Liborio lately?

The thing I miss most about working downtown. Used to eat there atleast once a week.

Cafe Habana/Cuban Outpost same owner. Checked out the website. Looks like it has a Rum House vibe to it. They also seem to be very involved in the community with charity and non profits in the NYC area. I hope it to be a great replacement for the eyesore it is right now. Will be living a block from there soon. C'mon good happy hour...

This is our favorite restaurant when we're in NYC. We go to the original location in Nolita. They are known for their roasted corn on the cob, but everything is great. Also the Sunday brunch is great.

I think it shut down.

I've been to the one in the village/west village in NYC. Good authentic Cuban food and a good vibe. Prices were reasonable. They had a large courtyard with outdoor seating as well.

Great, looking forward to trying it once it opens.
Posted on 3/15/15 at 8:19 am to Ric Flair
Curious as to how you know the Cuban food is authentic
Posted on 3/15/15 at 8:20 am to Powerman
It's unconscionable the three years of hoops (and no doubt LOTS of palm greasing) these folks had to jump through to open this place on a lot that has been dark and vacant for like 40 years.
