Go For Broke: 8 Ethnically Awesome BYOB Restaurants

When You're In The Mood For Cuban: Habana Libre
If you're looking to put a little food in your tummy before heading over to Five Star (down the street) for an after-dinner drink, consider this little diamond in the rough. Crispy empanadas and carne asada (served with onions, rice, black beans, and plantains) are go-to staples. If you're looking for something a bit on the lighter side, there's always ceviche or one of the seafood dishes such as the shrimp in garlic sauce.
