"The entrance to Emilia’s Havana is behind a speed rack filled with Cafe Bustelo in the kitchen of The Annie, but being personally escorted through the threshold takes away the mystery. Modeled after a Cuban cafe, Emilia's Havana always has a live band and focuses on rum-based cocktails. And while there's a $50 entertainment fee and a $100 minimum spend, the silky Celia Cruz covers and mini duck cubanos are worth their weight in gold, so the triple-digit price tag feels reasonable. Come to Emilia’s Havana when you want to salsa dance with someone you kiss regularly or desperately need access to an unlimited rum fountain." - gianni greene, chelsea thomas
