Habana Outpost in Fort Greene is pretty much my favorite location, joint, hangout of the summer. Owned by the same people behind Cafe Habana (also delicious) on Elizabeth Street, Habana Outpost is basically the hotter younger sister of its Soho counterpart. Open only in the summer at the busy intersection of the Lafayette Street subway stop on the C, this restaurant has a large outdoor patio with shared picnic table style seating which is where the scene really is with a diverse and attractive collection of people. And because this restaurant is all "green" and an eco-friendly operation, you feel like you're being productive somehow by sitting outside on a lazy weekend afternoon drinking beers or frozen mojitos while chowing down on their famous corn and cuban sandwiches and listening to fresh old school songs selected by a pretty amazing DJ. And with beer starting at $2.50 you can really knock them back before the sun sets. I plan on making frequent appearances to this location all summer.
