Fodor's Expert Review Havana Central

This little slice of Havana in the center of the Big Apple is a great place for reasonably priced group dining, as well as for sampling Cuban-Latino standards. Dig into dishes like garlicky chicken, hearty oxtail stew, authentic tostones (fried green plantains), pineapple-spiked chicken, and well-seasoned skirt steak with a cucumber-and-mango salad. There's a huge list of rums and a full menu of tropical-flavored mojitos, including coconut, blueberry, and passion fruit. At the Cuban brunch, don't miss the dulce de leche French toast.
