Havana Central

Editorial Review

Union Square spot not exactly shooting for literary cred. Interior works simple bright colors and palm trees, set to a Latino soundtrack. Salsa nights promise credible dancing, and kitchen serves up competent takes on Latin American comfort food (tamales, stuffed plantains). Stiff mojitos and sangria available for B&Ters ready get all 2003.
