And so it ends–well, and begins.

Today marks the end of our general manager Darcy Le Fleming’s waddling through work days.  A few months without her is making everyone around here pretty sad.  (Possibly panicked?  Nah, it’ll be cool.  She made binders and lists and things…)

But then there’s the flipside that’s making everyone as happy as that photo shows – because that also means today marks the any day now beginning of her I’ve-got-a-daughter days!  Will she be a Christmas baby?  Baby New Year?  Who knows… All we do know is she better like corn.

No need to really miss Darcy, though – check this segue – because there just *may* be a 2010 Habana Girls calendar hot off the presses (also any day now) so you can at least catch her in there…!

Letitia James Peddled a Healthy Message

Letitia James peddles a healthy message

This past Saturday we attended the first annual Fort Greene Food Conference sponsored by Letitia James.  Our own Xiomara Morgan was there with our famous bike blender to show people how easy and fun it can be to whip up a healthy smoothie right at home. The event had a great turn-out and Letitia even got in on the action by peddling a smoothie on our bike blender.

Skywriting over Fort Greene Brooklyn

Skywriting over Habana Outpost Brooklyn

So, this past Tuesday I was walking to work minding my own business when the sound of 5 really large planes made me look up at the sky… after a little research, I have discovered  it was the stunt of a street artist named Ron English check out his site here and don’t forget to look up every once in a while.
