Worth it, says Antonina. The restaurant has sold more than 7 million empanadas, available with cheese, beef, or chicken, and during happy hour, they're half off!

Head to Havana Central during happy hour for an unbeatable taste of Cuban cuisine in Times Square. The restaurant has sold more than 7 million empanadas, available with cheese, beef, or chicken, and during happy hour, they’re half off!

The drink selection is also outstanding, with tropical cocktails like margaritas, mojitos, and sangrias priced at just $7. For an extra treat, visit on Thursdays to enjoy live Latin music starting at 6 PM, overlapping with happy hour, which ends at 7 PM.
