KIDS’ WORKSHOPS ON PASEO DEL PRADO by Ana Lorena Fernández

Every weekend, Paseo del Prado, the well-knownavenue that divides Old Havana from CentralHavana, and which is packed with sights, such as the Capitolio, the Saratoga Hotel and the Gran Teatro de La Habana, just to name a few, becomes the meeting place of artists and their small apprentices—kids 4 to 10 years old—who come here to learn the different techniques of visual arts.

January 28: Birth of José Martí

If there is one date that unites all Cubans of any ideology or origin, it is January 28 when we celebrate the birthday of the Apostle of national independence, José Martí, who was born in 1853, on Paula Street in Havana, in the house that is currently marked with number 314. Poet, journalist, orator, essayist, translator...José Martí is not only the most significant literary figure of the 19th century in Cuba, he was also the organizer of the Cuban Revolutionary Party… against Spanish colonialism.

AWH T’S ONAHAVAN !

El Divino ******Calle Raquel no. 50 e/ Esperanza y Lindero, Mantilla.(53 7) 643 7734 www.cubarestaurantedivino.com/

Divino gets our vote for the best place to eat in Havana. 6 stars out of 5. Simply brilliant, superlatives trip off the tongue. This is notionally an Italian place although amongst its many specialties is a range of grilled meats.

The place is huge with plentiful seating on the terrace as well as (our favorite) a number of ranchons. It boasts its own impeccably maintained botanical gardens which kids will love while you lounge the afternoon way. This is out of town past Hemmingway’s Fince Vigia just before you reach Lenin Park. Take a map and spend the afternoon – there is no-where else you need to get to on at the weekend!

While taking advantage of the holiday season I embarked on the mission of eating out in new and old paladares in order to report on more ups and downs for the food enthusiasts in Havana. Here the results of the field research for this month.

DOWNS:

The zoo at Piccolo: This is where the best pizzas in Cuba are made (in my opinion). It is a cute restaurant in the beach town in Guanabo and the favorite of many families that like to stop for lunch on weekends after a morning in Playas del Este. The pizzas are baked in a wood oven and dressed with fresh ingredients from the vegetable garden on the premises. But as much as the food and prices are great, the little zoo thatthe restaurant keeps as entertainment for the children that visit is prettydepressing. There you will find a huge snake inside a tiny cage, a jutia (which is kind of an opossum mixed with a beaver) also in a small enclosure, and many caged birds. I mean, even in the case of snakes, there are few things more depressing than a big animal trapped in a small space.Calle 482 #503, % Ave 5 y 7, Guanabo, Cuba. Tel. 796-4300

The indoor area at Tres Medallas: This is definitely not the prettiest looking paladar in Havana. It wasopened about a year ago by Olympic champion Mireya Luis and her Italian husband. The restaurant, which is named in honor to the three gold medals that Mireya won in Barcelona, Atlanta, and Athens, offers a variety of

decent Italian food (including wood baked pizzas) at decent prices. The place has an open outdoor area and it offers an indoor space too. For the hot months the indoor dining room provides the comfort of A.C. and a space away from the flies; nevertheless, the area is dark, cold, with little personality and loud music. I would highly recommend the owners hire a professional interior decorator to bring some charm to this uninvitingspace.Calle 20 # 313, e/ Av. 3ª y 5ª. Tel: 052 645 337

The turtle offering at many paladares: Without naming names I would love to mention this huge “down” in many paladares in town. Some of these restaurants are already great, with good food and service. So, if everything is already working well, why in the world do they have to offer endangered species in the menu? In this case I have decided to withhold the names of the places that have offered “caguama” or “tortuga” as a gourmet dish, but it is more than one. I know the line of legality and illegality in Cuba can be pretty gray, but this is not only illegal, people, it is immoral! And then, as far as I understand it just tastes like chicken… offerchicken then!

The wait time at Mi Jardín: This is among the oldest paladares in the city. It is a quiet and casual place and one of the few that offer Mexican cuisine. The food is good, they have a Pescado a la Veracruzana that can be nice and spicy, the Plato Mexicano is a great way to sample a few dishes, and the Totopos appetizer is reallyaddictive. But unfortunately not all is good: prepare to wait up to 25 minutes just for the drinks to be served, another long wait for the food, and if you care for a second drink it is not unusual that you will have to go and look for the waiter yourself. I mean, the waiters (who are part of the family that owns the paladar) are verynice, they are just very slow. So, if you arm yourself with a little patiente you might enjoy this cute place.Calle 66 No. 517 esquina a 5ta, Miramar. Tel: 203 4627

UPS:

The fresh pasta at La Corte del Principe: This is one of the newest paladares in Havana. It is a charming and yet unpretentious establishment with a few tables in a covered porch and with a limited menu written in a blackboard. The place is nice, the prices are good, service is fantastic… but what is more attractive about this place is the homemade pastas, they are really good and they are offered with a variety of sauces that are also very outstanding: four cheeses, carbonara, amatriciana and pesto to name a few. Follow the recommendationsof the owner, Sergio, who will give you personalized service and a detailed description of his Italian creations.You will want to come back. Beware than even though it is an Italian place, pizza is not served.Calle 9 Esq. 74, Playa. Tel: 05 255-9091

Baby eels salad at Ivan Justo (aka Aguacate 9): I have to acknowledge that I might not order baby eels for my last dinner,actually I might not order baby eels for any dinner; but that is just me, and I have to say that my Spanish dining accomplices went head overheals for this menu item at Ivan Justo. Apparently this is one of the veryfew restaurants in Havana serving this gourmet tiny creatures. The paladar is located at Aguacate 9 and often called more by its addressthan by its name, it has an interesting menu that includes beef, lamb, rabbit, suckling pig, paella, appetizers such as the eel’s salad and home made pastas. The prices are a little bit in the high side, but the place is very pretty and service is good. No way to lose with this one. Aguacate 9, esquina Chacón. Habana Vieja. Tel: 863 9697

Hot plate cooking at PPs Teppanyaki: Located in the heart of Vedado this paladar opened just a fewmonths ago with a Japanese menu that includes a variety of sushi and, of course, teppanyaki, the kind of Japanese cuisine that involves cooking on a hot plate in front of the customer. The menu at PPs Teppanyakiincludes a variety of meats (shrimp, beef, and pork) prepared and presented in different traditional styles. All of them were really good during my visit. The skillful cooks explain every step of the cooking process and areable to make accommodations for any particular taste and answer any question about this cuisine. Prices are reasonable and reservations are recommended, since there are only two hot plates with about 12 chairs each.Calle 21 No. 104, apto 4 e/ L y M, Vedado. Tel: 836 2530

Piña Colada at La Casa: La Casa is one of the oldest paladares in Havana, and it is often missed by many in the expat community because of its location on a very quiet street in Nuevo Vedado. The place is nice and has an interesting interior garden. The service, supervised by owner Alejandro Robaina, is spotless and the food is fairly good, including the Japanese menu they had on Thursdays. But one of the high points of this restaurantis their piña coladas; they are just out of this world. They are served in a carved pineapple and are a meal in itself made with fresh fruit, a generous serving of rum and ice. Don’t miss having one of these cocktails!Calle 30 No. 865 e/ Avenida 26 y 41.Nuevo Vedado. Tel: 881 7000
