Everyone knows that kids are the future. At Café Habana and Habana Outpost, we’re always thinking about what we can do to include kids in building their own better tomorrow. We’re not just about good times and great food – we’re dedicated to our kids and to assuring them the brightest future imaginable.
Kid’s Corner
Our Kid’s Corners offers eco-based projects and programs that entertain and educate kids about our beautiful world, and empower them to help with our environmental challenges. Activities include eco-gardening, face painting, human-powered bike blenders, vintage vehicles, and crafts. Currently at Habana Outpost Fort Greene. To sign your child up for a kid’s corner, please RSVP at kids@ecoeatery.com.
