Café Habana

Passersby can expect to see a line out the door of Café Habana on almost any day of the week. This old-school Dominican diner is extremely popular for both its delicious Cuban food and its history. Owner and founder Sean Meenan built the place after being inspired by a storied Mexico City café where, legend has it, Che Guevara and Fidel Castro plotted the Cuban Revolution. Although there tends to be a substantial queue—especially on the weekends—the grilled corn and waffle on a stick are worth the wait.
