Son Cubano:
Say hello to our leetle friend. This Cuban lounge and restaurant is on the cutting edge of the embarrassingly popular Meat Packing District in more ways than one. Serving as a buffer between seedy 14th Street and sexy (and terribly overrated) clubs like Cielo and Lotus, this stylish joint is the best of both worlds. A glamorous mixed Latino/gringo crowd drinks mojitos and dines on Spanish fair between mosaic walls while a salsa band wails. Spillover from this hotspot drinks and dines on outdoor seats, but no one in their right mind is straying far from Son Cubano’s doors. Walking that fine line between romantic and sexy, anything can happen in this sultry joint.
