The
Times has a
neat slideshow of places where the Beat writers hung out around Columbia University. The West End, the bar where they held court, is now a Cuban restaurant called Havana Central at which I got
terrible food poisoning, so I'd advise you stick to the generously poured mojitos.
How do you know the food poisoning wasn't from the mojitos?
ReplyDeleteI don't know for certain, but: I have had mojitos there on multiple occasions, but I only ate there once. The night I ate there I only had one mojito, and while it still could have been that, I didn't start feeling sick till I started eating.
ReplyDeleteMiraculously I am still able to enjoy mojitos to this day.
This experiment calls for a positive control.
ReplyDeleteJust kidding, I don't think it's worth it.
