Habana Outpost

In the heart of buzzing Fort Greene, sits this laid-back, earth-friendly Cuban restaurant with a charming communal outdoor scene. Café Habana's original SoHo location still draws throngs of customers hungry for Cuban sandwiches and tostones, but this Fort Greene spin-off is the bohemian wild child of the eco-friendly family. Habana Outpost serves up much of the same irresistible menu, like fresh corn dosed with mayo, cotija cheese and chili powder. The beers are cheap, and in warm weather, Habana Outpost feels like one big block party.
From spring through Halloween, the multi-purpose space—acting as a restaurant, a flea market, a movie theatre and a fashion runway—is a pastel-splashed destination point on the bustling Fulton Street. Hit the new basement lounge Lowpost for spoken-word performances, or weave through the maze of eclectic vendors peddling T-shirts, jewellery and artwork, and find the authentic taco truck serving dynamite Mexican-style corn on the cob.
