NYC Restaurants

A Latin beat lures you into La Cubana in the Meatpacking District with live music. An oversized bar, cushy blue banquetts, large chandeliers and lush greenery adding to the clubby vibe. Chef Carl Ruiz, who is a regular on The Food Network, is leading the kitchen with authentic Cuban cuisine. Look for dishes like Papas Rellenas, Sweet Corn Fritters, Cuban Fisherman Stew for two, and Grilled Skirt Steak with a spicy pineapple chimichurri sauce. La Cubana is also offering a Cuban brunch on weekend. >>
