On the Grid : Parque John Lennon
"John Lennon Park is a nice spot to check out a slice of life in Vedado. Walk around, check out the gift shop, maybe take a ride in a convertible, sit on the benches and people-watch. And of course, take your picture next to Lennon (not Lenin) on his park bench. There was a man who’s job it was to hold his glasses and keep them clean, but apparently they were recently stolen, so he's out of a job. In a country where the Beatles were only heard underground for decades, this plaza is a little monument to a changing Cuba." - Noah Friedman-Rudovsky
