Mecca of Food and Sustainability




<< This is a blender bike. If you order a smoothie at Habana Outpost, one of the staff members will jump on this bike and make you a fresh smoothie without using any electricity. This is what we call: A new fascination!


Habana Outpost
In Brooklyn, New York, a space that was once a parking lot has  been transformed into one of the borough’s best scenes. 
Habana Outpost, a restaurant and cultural center, features an open-air market, outdoor movies, great food and drinks, and a social hub for the creative and diverse local community. 
Underlying it all is an ethic of sustainability:
The eatery, powered by renewable energy, boasts dozens of green building features—none of which takes away from the enjoyable experience.


Café Habana and the Habana Outpost eateries were built on the principles of great food, great fun, and social responsibility. Their mission is to show respect for the community, the environment, and the arts in a setting that is always fun and accessible. With forward-thinking design and business practices they have created a space where neighbors can gather around a great meal, learn, and create new fascinations.
