Havana Central is a nice little gem in New York City not far from several theaters. It’s across from the Marriott Marquis and it’s hard to miss so look for the neon palm tree. The food is nicely seasoned to fit any pallet. Everyone’s meat was very tender and flavorful nothing was overcooked. The rice was light and fluffy and seasoned as well. Very good atmosphere and well worth stopping in. They didn’t disappoint. There were six in my party, and we all raved, and loved our dishes.  This is a very good healthy option for grabbing food to take home.  Hats off to the chef!
