JULY 2013
!
July is a month so hot that you either need to embrace the sweaty blistering
steaming heat or get out of town. If you choose the latter, Santiago de Cuba at
the far end of the country hosts Cuba's best carnival toward the end of the
month (July 21-29). This is the cradle of Cuban music, so this is a must see for
those seeking that authentic experience. There is absolutely no chance of
Rolling Stones stealing the show. Earlier in the month (July 3-9), there is another
Santiago de Cuba festival, the Festival del Caribe, Fiesta del Fuego which is
dedicated to Colombia this year.

Back in Havana, there is no let up in activities, exhibitions, concerts, festivals and
performances. For those looking for a party with the in crowd, don't miss the III
Festival de Música Electrónica Cubana on July 13. Cuba's premier comedy
festival also kicks off from June 30 to July 7 and there are loads of activities for
kids.
We hope you enjoy this review. Any feedback and/or notices about events are
always appreciated. You can contact us at [email protected].

The Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes is celebrating its 100th birthday with two exhibitions related to the
anniversary. The El Museo Nacional de Cuba's Orígenes de la colección examines to the museum's first
exhibition in 1913 and shows pieces from its present collections, which later became part of other
Havana museums. Hitos' Crecimiento de la colección de arte en el Museo Nacional (1913-1963), on the
other hand, centres on the significant instances in the museum's life, such as the loan of artwork by the
San Alejandro Art Academy in 1913, the purchase of pieces from the Italian collector Salvatore Buffardi
in 1925, and the legacy of Rafael Carvajal in 1954.

Clothes Lines:
Performance
Art under the
Sun
by Ricardo Alberto
Pérez
Throughout the country, clothes lines dominate the
domestic scenery.
Simple contraptions, often
homemade, are as diverse and unique as this island's
citizens. On rooftops, balconies, inner courtyards or back
gardens, clothes lines are strung with a Caribbean
recklessness that holds everything from kitchen rags that
have seen better days to undergarments of every shape,
color and size. And all of them are exposed unashamedly
too often over public streets, attracting the attention and
even photographs of tourists below.
A clothes line invites passersby to participate in the lives
of the users. Who lives here? What do they like? Just look
up. The clothes line tells all. In Havana, and in Cuba more
generally, one article stands out on clothes lines:
bedsheets. From crib size to king size, bedclothes billow
in the wind. And Cubans have clear preferences for
flapping white sheets that dazzle in the sun's rays. Okay,
there may be a Mickey Mouse bedsheet or two, but it is the
flapping white bedsheets that Cuban poets and
troubadours have in their poems and songs as symbols of
hope and freedom.
Hanging out the washing is an art. Which end of a piece of
clothing should be hung? Should it be hung dripping wet?
Which colors should not be exposed to sunlight and which
demand it? For Cubans, even the notion of a ban on using
outdoor clothes lines or acts to prevent prohibitions on
the use of clothes lines is inconceivable. How bizarre
would this be in a country that is flooded with sunlight
most of the year?
Next time you walk the streets of Havana, look up and be
dazzled…or at least be entertained. If the sight of
underwear exposed outdoors appalls your sensibilities,
then consider the financial and environmental benefits of
clothes lines. And let's not forget the fresh smell and soft
touch of sun-kissed laundry.

Ciudad oculta is the one-man show by Yunior Yanes
which, according to the curators Ramón Cabrales and
Rufino del Valle, reflects Havana “like he sees it or how
he would like to see it. From a composition point of view,
Yanes has mastered light, lines and geometrical shapes,
reminiscent in some way of abstract art or perhaps a bit
of Picassoesque cubism.”

Colin Franks
in Cuba
Colin Franks, from Victoria, BC
Canada, came to Cuba for the first
time in February of 2013. From
this trip, he has produced a great
series of pictures, which take you
from the intricate details on the
1950s Chevy to the faces of people
beautifully captured in black and
white.

Peter Jones's
Cuban trip
Peter Jones purchased his first
camera in 2007 for no apparent
reason. Starting off as a selftaught hobbyist, he initially shot
landscape, cityscape and wildlife.
After 2 years, he became semiprofessional, selling some of his
prints. Now, after 6 years of
continued progress, he is a
professional. This exhibition is a
collection of superb images that
capture the rich colors and
textures of Cuba.

TRIBUTE TO THE GREAT ITALIAN
COMIC ACTOR TOTÓ
CINEMATECA DE CUBA, CINE CHAPLIN
Prince Antonio Focas Flavio Angelo Ducas Comneno De
Curtis di Bisanzio Gagliardi, best known by his stage
name Totò, 15 February 1898–15 April 1967) or as Antonio
De Curtis, and nicknamed il principe della risata ("the
prince of laughter"), was an Italian comedian, film and
theatre actor, writer, singer and songwriter. He is widely
considered one of the greatest Italian artists of the 20th
century. While he first gained his popularity as a comic
actor, his dramatic roles, his poetry, and his songs are all
deemed to be outstanding; his style and a number of his
recurring jokes and gestures have become universally
known memes in Italy.

Festival
Nacional del
Humor
Aquelarre
June 30 to July 7
Once again, the Aquelarre National Humor Festival takes place during one of the hottest months of the year to ease us into
the hot summer days with refreshing performances of the best comedians in the country. With stand-up comedians,
variety performers, sketch troupes and much more, the 2013 Aquelarre will officially begin on June 30. The city, however,
already began rocking with laughter on June 21 with the show De Doime son los cantantes by 2012 National Humor Award
winner Osvaldo Doimeadiós, who is considered Cuba's most important comedian in the last 20 years and will be paid
tribute during the festival's closing ceremony.
Organized by the Centro Promotor del Humor, the opening and closing ceremonies of this year's Aquelarre will take place
at the 8,000-seat Karl Marx Theater in Miramar. Enrique “Kike” Quiñones, the Director of the Centro Promotor del Humor
said that this year's program includes workshops (one on drama and situation comedy will be given by Doimeadiós
himself), and lectures open to the general public at Casa Cultural ALBA from June 27 to June 30, and a season of Italian
comedy films at the 23 y 12 movie theater from July 1 to July 7.
The presence of artists from all over Cuba makes Aquelarre different from other festivals. Fifteen groups from 11 different
provinces will be participating this year in Cuba's top comedy event, so this will be a fantastic opportunity for both
Habaneros and visitors to fully appreciate comedy from the rest of the nation.
Year after year, tickets are often sold out days before the shows, so be prepared. If you cannot find a ticket, look for people
selling an extra ticket or two for up to five times their value outside of the theater!
If you're in town and attend one of the shows, you'll soon realize, paradoxical as it may seem, that Cuban humor--cutting
and thought provoking--is actually no laughing matter.
Takes place at Mella, América, Nacional, Lázaro Peña and El Sóltano theaters, and Sala Llauradó at Casona de Línea

Carnaval de
Santiago de
Cuba
July 21-29, 2013
Santiago de Cuba
Carnival festivities in Santiago de Cuba date back to
colonial times with the annual procession on the feast of
Santiago Apóstol, the patron saint of the town. Because
this celebration took place in the street, a large number of
locals including slaves with permission would join in the
celebration of the Epiphany with their own music and
dance. This has an effect we see today: the African and
Haitian influences in the Santiago de Cuba Carnival-most notable in dance, music, and costumes.
The carnivals have always given the people of Santiago a
means to release tension, to put aside their worries and
dance to the rhythm of conga music. This year, like every
year, locals and visitors will keep up the tradition and pour
onto the streets in what is considered the most colorful
carnival in Cuba. This is one of the most important cultural
events in the city: many of its participants spend the whole
year preparing their routines for the event. And don't
worry, it's a family event. The entire family will either
participate in the parade or at least help make costumes or
embellish floats. One way or another, everyone will do
their bit.
Carnival highlights include comparsas(neighborhood
dance groups whose choreographies are generally related
to Caribbean traditions and the daily life of the people of
Santiago) and the processions of decorated floats that will
parade, as usual, mainly down Avenida Garzón, where a
jury will choose the best. The conga lines are perhaps the
most popular element of the carnival, but they are meant
to join, not watch.
Right at the end of the procession, mamarrachos
(characters in f lamboyant, colorful costumes),
muñecones (huge papier mache f igures) and
enmascarados (men and women wearing elaborate
masks), accompanied by parranderos who with their
drums, congas, rattles, catchy choruses and cornetas
chinas liven up the event –if that is even possible. Inserted
into carnivals as early as 1916, the corneta china, or
Chinese horn, was introduced in Cuba by Chinese
immigrants, adding another layer to the festivities.
In recent years, the festivity has extended to other open
areas in the city where live music with son, salsa,
merengue as well as rock, pop, and disco will be played by
the most popular bands of the moment. Free of all
commercialization, the Santiago Carnival is truly an
opportunity to celebrate this nation's unique history and
culture in a riot of rhythms, drumming and color.
Although many Cuban towns hold their own carnivals,
none attracts the crowds of the Santiago carnaval, so don't
miss out as the whole city moves to the rhythm of conga
lines, the sound of the corneta china, bass drums, congas
and French drums as well as pots and pans turned into
unconventional percussion instruments, which lead
dancing crowds down the steep roads of Santiago de
Cuba.

Festival del
Caribe,
Fiesta del
Fuego
Jul 3-9
Santiago de Cuba
Each year in July, the Festival del Caribe, Fiesta del Fuego
takes place in Santiago de Cuba. Considered Cuba's most
Caribbean city, Santiago is the natural venue for this
colorful and joyful celebration that aims at harmonizing
the identities of the peoples of the region beyond
geographic and linguistic diversity. It also seeks to
promote the exchange of opinions and experiences
among artists of different styles.
Initiated in April 1981, the Festival del Caribe received the
support of many Latin American intellectuals, including
renowned Cuban Fernández Retamar, Barbadian George
Lamming, Dominican Juan Bosch, Brazilian Thiago de
Mello, Colombian Gabriel García Márquez and Jamaican
Rex Nettleford. One of the reasons why it became so
popular so quickly is that it aimed at showcasing a
segment of Caribbean folk culture that hadn't yet received
the level of recognition it deserved.
This year's Fiesta del Fuego will be dedicated to Colombia,
a country with a culture and geography very similar to
Cuba's. A large number of Colombian artists will
participate in the festival, including musical groups
Septeto Tabalada, El Sistema Solar and Totó la
Mamposina. The latter will have the honor of opening
Colombia's cultural venue with a concert on July 4. In
addition, there will be over 30 art exhibitions and a
selection of over 10 Colombian films shown in different
movie theaters in Santiago de Cuba. The Colombian
Ambassador, Gustavo Bell, will give the opening lecture in
the colloquium on Caribbean culture, which will include
the participation of over 20 scholars from Colombia. The
festival will also include book launchings by Colombian
and Cuban authors as well as the presentation of the 59th
edition of the Revista del Caribe magazine, featuring
articles by Colombian authors alone.
The 2013 Festival del Caribe will open with the traditional
Desfile de la Serpiente, or the Serpent Parade. Locals and
visitors seem to enter into a kind of collective trance as
they move at conga pace from Plaza de Marte to Parque
Céspedes, displaying the spiritual richness of the men and
women of the Caribbean.
For the next seven days, Santiago de Cuba will get no rest
or sleep as its people, the true leading figures of this
festival, immerse themselves in the cultural events that
will occupy nearly 50 venues in the city. Santiagueros are
experts at hosting this 30+-year-old festival, welcoming
over 1,000 visitors from all over the Caribbean and
beyond.
The Quema del Diablo (The Burning of the Demon) marks
the end of the festival when all of its participants head to
the seaside and there burn the Great Demon, which
symbolizes all bad things. When it is burned, it is believed
that the way is paved for the next year's meeting.

July 26, 1953:
Attack on
Moncada
Barracks
by Victoria Alcalá
July 26th is a truecelebration of Cuban Revolutionary
spirit. All across the country, you will see communist
banners and political graffiti. Combining the anniversary
of the birth of Jose Marti and the attack on the Moncada
barracks by Fidel Castro, July 26 is one of the most
important days in the country's calendar.
On July 26, 1953 a group of young men and two women led by
Fidel Castro attacked the Moncada Barracks in Santiago de
Cuba while another group attacked the Carlos Manuel de
Céspedes Barracks in the city of Bayamo. Although they lost,
this event paved the way for the insurrection against
Batista. It was “the small engine that ignited the big engine
of the Revolution.”
Victoria Alcalá writes about Cuban culture. She has won several
p r e s t i g i o u s
w r i t i n g
a w a r d s .
How many countries commemorate a military defeat as
their national holiday? Cuba does. In fact, it celebrates the
ill-fated events that took place on July 26, 1953 with three
days off.
The events began one year earlier in May 1952 whena
group of young people grouped around Abel and Haydee
Santamaría, Melba Hernández and Fidel Castro began
meeting in an apartment building in Havana to discuss
their discontent with the disruption of the constitutional
order imposed by the military coup launched by the
dictator Fulgencio Batista. All legal channels Exhausted,
plans were made to start the armed struggle and fight the
de facto government. Working with people across the
country, they began to obtain uniforms, guns and
ammunition to attack the Moncada Barracks and other
strategic targets.
A year later, those who were to participate in the assault
traveled to Santiago de Cuba, which was celebrating its
traditional summer carnival. The date was chosen so that
the authorities would not suspect the young people who
by train, bus and 17 cars were coming into the city with the
apparent purpose of enjoying themselves during the
festivities. The leaders of the attack were hoping that the
relaxed atmosphere, the distance from the capital, the
surprise factor, and the nearby mountains of the Sierra
Maestra would help them achieve their goal.
Upon their arrival in Santiago, the revolutionaries
gathered together at the small Siboney farm located near
the city. During early morning, the guns hidden inside a
well were distributed. Then, the details of the attack,
which had been kept in the utmost secrecy by the leaders,
were given. —They were going to attack the Moncada and
Carlos Manuel de Céspedes Barracks and take over two
strategic places, the Saturnino Lora Hospital and the
Palace of Justice. The objectives: to disarm the enemy and
summon the people to take armed revolutionary action
that would lead to the overthrow of Batista.
At 4:00 am on Sunday, July 26th, 129 men and two women
left the Siboney farm. The plan was to have the main body
of the inexperienced troops (around 90 men) led by Fidel
Castro, advance to the army facility; the two women
(Melba Hernández and Haydee Santamaría) and other
fighters, led by Abel Santamaría, would take over the
hospital; and the group of around 35 men led by Raul
Castro would seize the Palace of Justice. The last two
groups were able to achieve their goal, but the group led
by Fidel, lost the element of surprise: after reaching one of
the posts, an unexpected patrol that was doing the rounds
because of the carnival came across them. They alerted
the guards at the barrack's troops and a battle ensued
outside the garrison.
Given the disadvantage of the assailants, many fled to the
foothills of the Sierra Maestra, where they were captured
several days later.

Besieged by
Color in
Havana
by Ricardo Alberto
Pérez
Sometimes tourists see things that locals don't. In fact,
sometimes tourists open our eyes to see our own city in an
entirely new light. This occurred to me recently when a
visitor from abroad started speaking to me, visibly excited,
about the exuberant colors emanating from Havana's
architecture. Colourful? This caught me offguard so, I
decided to reacquaint myself with the city's façades. It did
not take long to understand why so many tourists are
amazed with the city's tremendously varied and vigorous
colors.
Havana's colorful architecture is a product of its historical
development. Havana of the sixteenth and seventeenth
centuries was a highly colored urban space. Chronicles
written by Dutch, English, French and Spanish visitors
provide an image of Havana as a city painted in blue and
green. After all this was the period in which the wellknown “colonial blue” was born. These colours, of course,
were highlighted by the highly elaborate roofs done in the
Moorish style. All you have to do is gaze upon the old
colonial house at the corner of Teniente Rey and Aguiar in
the heart of Old Havana to see one of the best examples of
Havana' colonial architecture.
The nineteenth century witnessed a new addition to many
of the buildings: stained glass windows that bathed the
architecture with color. Most of the houses surrounding
Plaza Vieja, for instance, contain entrance porches, held
up by slim arcades and columns, that boast stained glass
details.
Art-deco decoration also made appearance as seen in the
Fausto Theatre on Paseo del Prado with its pure art deco
façade faced with a mixture of white cement and stone
dust that reflect color changes in its illumination. Then
there is the home of Catlina Lasa and Juan Pedro Baró on
Paseo Street between 17th and 19th with its art deco
pantheon with a stained-glass window commissioned by
Pedro to commemorate his wife's early death.
The arrival of the Modernist Movement in Cuba marked
another important turning point. In this case, Cuban gaze
was redirected away from Europe. No longer were
European styles simply copied. Instead, a distinct Cuban
architectural culture was born, resulting from the
adaptation to the climate and the use of native materials.
This provided an important spark that gradually changed
the image of the city. Architects such as Nicolás Arroyo,
Gabriela Menéndez and Antonio Quintana were
supported by artists such as Amelia Peláez, Wifredo Lam
and René Portocarrero and buildings such as the Habana
Libre Hotel, the Retiro Odontológico, and the Riviera
Hotel were born.
The city is a reflection of the nation. Much like with the
mixing of so many races and cultures, the architecture has
benefited from the mixing of so many traditions making
the eclectic buildings “sing within the symphony of the
city”.
The Republican Period turned Havana into the eclectic
city that it is known as today. The majestic mansiosn of El
Vedado are richly decorated both inside and out. Built in
1927, the home of José Gómez Mena and María Luisa,
Countess of Revilla de Camargo, at 17th Street on the
corner of E, is a striking example.

Conner
Gorry's best
live music
venues in
Havana
From Grammy winners to surprisingly accomplished minstrels plying the Malecón, Cuba is a music Mecca. I
think it's fair to say that if you don't experience music that moves you in the hips, heart, or elsewhere in your
island travels, you're missing the point. Unfortunately, not all the venues around town match the quality of the
music being made, to say nothing of the technology and people hired to run it – audio equipment and lighting
design can be nothing short of horrendous. Then there's what we call 'ambiente' in these parts, the atmosphere
of a place, which can make or break a venue in terms of audience experience.
Certain Havana venues have terrific (or at least sufficient) technology and the people to run it as well as such a
great atmosphere that they compensate for other shortcomings. Though it's hotter than Hades, summer is a
great time to be here since cultural offerings are in full swing, with many free concerts, interesting music
festivals, and visiting musicians.
Maxim Rock
Calle Bruzón #62, near Carlos III & Ayesterán
Located in a quiet, off-the-tourist-track neighborhood behind the Terminal de Omnibus, this club run by the
Agencia de Rock must have had design input from local moshers and music makers: the audio and lights are
some of the city's best, there is plenty of room to stage press and head bang, and there's awesome air
conditioning – what Cubans call el pingüino – the penguin. It's also big enough to accommodate those who just
want to hang back and out. Since the legendary Patio de María was closed, this is the best place to see hard rock
and metal bands like Zeus and Hipnosis.
Salon Rosado de La Tropical
Avenida 41 & Calle 46
There's something extra special about outdoor venues, and this salsa palace in Playa is an all-time favorite.
Whether you hit the big open dance floor or overlook the scene from one of the balconies above, this place has
an unrivaled energy. While regguetón/cubatón and timba are standard musical fare here (think La Micha;
Paulo FG; Pupy y Los Son Son) rock and pop acts – Interactivo, Descemer Bueno, Raúl Paz – also gig occasionally
at the Salon Rosado. This is also HQ for the annual Pro Electronica music festival; this year's event takes place
on July 13 (7pm-11am) and features dozens of electronic acts from around the island. This venue has a strict ID
and search policy, so it's best to travel light and carry some form of identification when heading for a night out
here.
!
Privé
Calle 88A #306 between 3ra & 3raA
This is the city's first private music club, an
arrangement made possible thanks to Cuba's
ongoing economic reforms, and it combines
comfort, quality music, and a chill atmosphere
brilliantly. It's snug – the stage accommodates a trio
comfortably, a quartet if the musicians squeeze in a
lo cubano – but design elements like drop down
noise- and echo-dampening panels mean it has
terrific audio, plus the musicians who play here
(Harold López-Nussa; Oliver Valdés; Aldo LópezGavilán) are among the country's best. It can get
loud with chattering youth and there are some seats
with blocked sight lines, but you can't have it all – or
so they keep telling me.
Teatro Bellas Artes
Calle Trocadero between Calle Agramonte &
Avenida de las Misiones
This theater in the Museo de Bellas Artes/Cuban
Collection is a sweet, intimate room where the wall
between musicians and audience is regularly
toppled. The roof used to leak right into the fifth
row, but since that was fixed, this is one of the city's
top venues featuring all musical genres. Judging by
the big names who play here, it's also a favorite of
local musicians: I've seen memorable shows in this
theater by Omara Portuondo, Tesis de Menta, and
Yasek Manzano. Buy tickets in advance for big name
acts since the theater only seats 200 and will sell out
(it's not uncommon for the stairs and aisles, as well
as the seats, to be packed).
Café Cantante
Paseo & Calle 39
There's always something grotty and off-putting about basement clubs and this place in the nether regions of
the Teatro Nacional fit the bill perfectly until a recent major overhaul. I'm surprised how nicely this club
cleaned up; it actually feels hip, which is has been a slow learning curve for state-run establishments. The air
condition works, there's plenty of seating, good audio and clean sight lines to the stage. Los Kents (rock 'n roll
covers); Qva Libre (wildly popular rock/fusion); and Santiago Feliú (trova superstar) have regular gigs here.
This venue also has historic significance since it's where Nueva Trova solidified as a movement,

Rio Mar
3A Y FINAL # 11, LA PUNTILLA, MIRAMAR, HAVANA,
CUBA
Amazingly for a city by the sea Havana has precious few
places to eat with a view of the ocean. Rio Mar, on the
other hand has a whole terrace overlooking the spot
where the Rio Almendares flows into the sea, opposite
the historic 1830 Club. This little bay may be sheltered,
but it gives you a sense and smell of the ocean without
the waves.
Since the opening in February 2012, it has gone straight
to the top of most expatriate pop charts for dining
options. This is on account of not just the fabulous
location but, attentive service, great food and an
attention to minimalist elegant décor. While you can sit
inside, it is really the terrace that draws you into Rio Mar.

Elena's ups &
downs to
dining out in
Havana
by Elena Vega
DOWNS:
Arrogance at La Cocina de Liliam
Calle 48 No 1311 entre 13 y 15, Playa. Tel. 209 6514
It is a pity that such a beautiful paladar can be ruined by the arrogant attitude of the staff who act as if the world
is not worthy of them. This was the place that Jimmy Carter came back in 2001 and before the new wave of
paladares opened, this was one of the few class acts in town. Although the Havana dining scene has now
changed, they seem not to have got the memo.
Friends of mine were recently asked never to come back here after an argument with the waiter who refused to
serve them more bread at 11 p.m. Go figure. I don't care if the rich and famous come here, I still believe even little
old me is always right – I am the customer after all.
Closing of Chaplin's
What a shame. This paladar started off on the right foot. Conveniently
located in Miramar, the décor was chic, the trendy food good and the
service friendly. Sadly not long after the opening, the overall quality of
the place seemed to stall and then go downhill. Even best efforts to set
the right ambience with a violin player seemed to backfire. In my last
visit, I had to wait about 20 minutes for a glass of wine while my main
dish was finally brought to the table when my friends had already
finished eating. So, Chaplin's is no more. Viva Chaplins.
Cover charge at La Fontana
Calle 3ra A esq. 46. Miramar. Playa. Tel. 202 8337
La Fontana is a great restaurant with consistently good food, great
service and a nice ambience. Recently they have introduced jazz nights
inviting top class Cuban jazz musicians to play while you eat. So far, so
good. The only issue is with a cover charge of CUC 5 per person, which
they add to the final bill without necessarily saying up front (or charging
at the door). If you love jazz (and know about the charge), I am sure that
no-one will mind. Ror some of us, however, this can be a real annoyance,
especially if you prefer rock and roll.
!
UPS:
The Tampiqueña steak at Los Compadres
Calle 66 A esq 41. Playa. Tel. 203 6908
Los Compadres bills itself as a Mexican place, has a Mexican partner
and even a mariachi band, BUT most of the menu is actually more
international andCuban than Mexican. Sensitive to the criticism in
recent weeks, they have started to introduce some more authentic
Mexican fare including my favorite, the Tampiqueña steak. Cut thinly
(as it should be) and served with tortillas, refried beans and a homemade
pico de gallo, it is truly excellent. Thumbs up. Wash it down with a
couple of margaritas!
The opening of Bikos
Calle 19 #1010, esq. 12. Vedado. Tel. 831 8847
This bar opened in June 2013 and promises to be a great addition to the
paladar and bar scene in Havana. The décor is interesting and carries an
African theme accentuated with custom made chairs that resemble the
original Coppelia chairs. This has more of a bar than restaurant feel with
a large selection of tapas, wine and cocktails that one can enjoy in an
open terrace or over a comfortable sofa inside the air conditioned area.
Bikos also offers breakfasts that include fresh fruit, home made juices,
and (I have been told) Benedictine eggs that are to die for…
Prices at Casa Lala
Calle 24 e/ 23 y 21. Plaza de la Revolución. Tel. 830 1410
Havana Chef has had a make-over and a name change to Casa Lala. It
has the same delicious menu (including the suckling pig that I talked
about in a previous column), but with lower prices. The place is pleasant
with an open space that manages to stay breeze and cool even during
the hot Cuban summer. On top of all this, the service is very friendly. Do
not miss the chorizos cooked in wine and the fresh pastas!
Points rewards at Star Bien
Calle 29 #205, entre B y C. Vedado. Tel. 830 0711
I love the efforts that some paladares are going to in order to distinguish
themselves. Star Bien, a lovely place in Vedado, has gone so far as to
create a points reward system. The more you go and the more you
spend, the more points you get and, of course, you can use those points
for “free stuff” in the restaurant. I went back with some friends for lunch
recently and we were informed that we had accumulated 35 points in
our last two visits, which gives us enough money for two entrees or for a
good bottle of wine. Rock on.
