Cafe Habana To-Go Goes Longer…

…by 2 full hours!

Yep, out with the old 12 to 10pm regime and in with the extended jam — 11am to 11pm.  Delivery rolls until 10:30.

Consider your stomach set free – get hungry an hour earlier, stay hungry an hour later!

But even more importantly, as it finally looks winter wonderlandy out there (if you ignore the freezing cold, ankle-deep, gray and slushy street corners)…

Sean Meenan & the Habana family wish you a Feliz Navidad and a Happy New Year!

Tory Burch & Adrian Grenier APPROVE!

The Daily News recently asked 90 celebrities what their favorite spot in NYC is … and Cafe Habana and Habana Outpost both made the list!  Pretty impressive, huh? 

Designer Tory Burch says, “I love going to Cafe Habana on Elizabeth St.  It is a tiny restaurant that has a great laid-back atmosphere.  The food is fantastic and their grilled corn is incredible.” 

And actor & eco-activist Adrian Grenier named Habana Outpost as his choice NYC hangout, saying, “Habana Outpost is one of my favorite spots.  It’s an outdoor gathering spot with great Cuban food.  The people are always down to earth and friendly.  It’s also eco-friendly: the lights run on solar energy and the frozen mojitos are blended with human bike power.”

Individuals Growing Together

Check out this artwork from our very own Yasmin:

Individuals growing together

Societies as well as individuals cannot grow by
themselves.
Our environment nourishes us.
Other people’s feelings and behaviors affect us.
Through general daily interaction with people, even
strangers, we are each contributing to each other’s
growth.
Our nervous systems are designed to operate within
 a stream of constant informational input.
This input comes from sense receptors for taste,
 touch, smell, sight and hearing, throughout the tissues
in our bodies, alerting us to the comings and goings
 of the external world.
Our senses make us react in our mind, and each one of
them is constructing the way  we feel and act.
We, as humans, reflect energy that others can absorb.
We feed and nourish each other.

Good News Travels Fast!
