MERGED: Habana Tapas + another bar

Has anyone else noticed a white banner above a gate on 5th Avenue between20th and 21st on the east side of the street that says Habana Tapas? Wondering if we're going to be getting a good new restaurant.

I have not seen that yet but that'd be exciting...

New restaurant!

Stopped in front of the old game store space on 5th ave between 21st and 22nd and asked one of the workmen what is going in there. His response: "another bar". He added that the owner is a nice guy and that "it will look like a ship inside".

I am fine with another bar, but I would love a new (good) food option or two. I should have asked if they will have food.

I believe the old Smolen spot is in the works to be a new bar as well. Can the neighborhood support all these new places? Are we seeing the survival of the fittest in action?

Habana Tapas will be on 20th and 21st on 5th Ave...could be inetresting~!

oh I've seen this place. Looks new and exciting. I can't wait until it opens!

Very interesting...are we getting tony or what?

Not sure why these threads were merged. I was not talking about the habana tapas spot. I think someone else just *really* wants to keep pushing it....
