Restaurant Description:
Manhattan’s Cafe Habana and Habana To Go, opened by Sean Meenan in 1998, serve home-style Latin food with unique Cuban and Central Mexican accents. Habana Outpost, located in Fort Greene, Brooklyn, shares the same celebrated cuisine but also functions as a community gathering space. Regardless of the location, the food is renowned and the atmosphere welcoming.
Habana Outpost is also NYC’s first eco-eatery.
Eco-Eateries are restaurants that use earth-friendly practices in their design, construction, and day-to-day operations. Habana Outpost aims to reduce wasteful consumption and promote sustainable solutions.
“Its design is sleek and minimalist, modern but true to the look of the old luncheonette. Yes, it attracts a cell-phone crowd, but also a nose-ring crowd and a cardigan-sweater crowd, all apparently feeling at home. Most important, Café Habana imitates its models with love and respect, not irony, preserving the diner’s cheap prices and function as a local hangout.” – New York Times
