Son Cubano

Editorial Review

Big Cuban sandwiches and tasty tapas in a buena comida social club from F. Castro (that's Frank, not Fidel, unfortunately—we hear Commie diets can be quite slimming). Over-the-top digs for this second go-round. Backlit bar, posh black-and-white-tile dining room, just like the last days of Batista. Loud mixed crowd of yups, scenesters, refugees, and those overworked alkies-in-training. No jeans, let's keep it classy.
