Cuban Rum Bar

A new rum bar is opening in the East Village called Cienfuegos that caught my eye, primarily because the decor which is reminiscent of old Havana is absolutely stunning.They offer exotic rum cocktails (natch) served in tin cups with vintage Cuban music in the background and Cuban side-dishes to nibble on.Sounds delightful.I'll be sure to report back when I check it out.

Viejo Cuba

I was intrigued enough by the previous post to investigate some images of Cuba. Old Cuba ....And what a treasure trove of wonderfully decayed grandeur, beautiful "azuelos" , saturated colors and european style architecture I found. Romanticism is definitely palpable here, although I suppose if I had to deal with the poverty and strife on  a daily basis I might have a different view. At any rate, here is an extended tour of Old Havana and Trinidad, Cuba. I am very much in love.
