John Mitty Monday, October 1, 2012

Havana Central - the popular New York eatery known for its festive ambiance and high-quality, authentic Cuban comfort food - announces its latest outpost, on Long Island. The restaurant, which will be the fourth Havana Central location, will open on Nov. 14 at Roosevelt Field in Garden City, NY. Expertly fashioned by Garrett Singer Architecture & Design, the restaurant features opulent décor inspired by the glamour of Cuba’s nightclubs and palatial Old Havana landmarks such as Sloppy Joe’s Bar, evokes pre-revolutionary Havana through the use of warm tropical colors, brushed steel, old woods, 1950s-era artifacts and live Salsa music. Key features of the 13,000 sq. ft. double-story interior include vintage black and white photos of legendary Cuban stars that line the deep tobacco walls, retro tile floors and lush tropical plants that carry into the main and private dining rooms. When the weather is warm, guests can retreat to the outdoor veranda for an authentic Cuban oasis, or enjoy after-work drinks and a game at the bar year-round. Corporate Chef Stanley Licairac offers expertly crafted all-day menus of traditional Cuban recipes infused with fresh ingredients and seasonal specialties. Fans of Havana Central’s signature dishes will be excited to find their favorites offered at Roosevelt Field, including queso fundido ($12.50); chicharrones de pollo ($9); handmade empanadas ($3); vaca frita ($19.50); ropa vieja ($17.50), tres leches ($8) and Cuban flan ($6).  The menu also stars tempting new additions exclusive to the Long Island location, such as chicharrones de cerdo ($9); shrimp ceviche ($12) and barbeque guava ribs ($16). The well-thought out wine list features exceptional finds from Latin America, Spain and Portugal. The creative and tasty cocktails include Manhattan’s “best” Mojitos and Sangrias made tableside, as well as house specialties like the Long Island Mojito. Havana Central is located at Roosevelt Field, 630 Old Country Road, Garden City, NY 11530, and will be open Sunday through Thursday, 11:30 a.m. – 11 p.m. and Friday through Saturday, 11:30 a.m. - 12 a.m. For additional information about Havana Central and its complete portfolio of properties, visit www.HavanaCentral.com.
