"If you visit Guantanamera in the daytime, you’ll think it’s just a Cuban restaurant with ceiling fans and an empty stage set-up. That’s because, like owls and animated cowboy dolls, this kitschy 9th Avenue spot comes alive at night. The live band, crowded bar, and kind man selling hand-rolled cigars are the real reasons why you should visit. The next time you want to do a mambo side step before eating a cubano, try this place." - bryan kim, willa moore, neha talreja, hannah albertine, will hartman
