Havana

Mel — Tue, 22 Dec 2009 05:09:25 +0000

Havana breathes Commercial Drive. A chill cuban restaurant, art gallery and theater couldn’t be more in tune with the atmosphere, vibe and attitude that is Commercial Drive. For this, it’s no surprise that Havana is packed most nights of the week. Either local residents, Latin visitors or hungry brunch seekers fill the small one room restaurant. In summer, the Havana patio is, hands down, the best for people watching.
