Havana

Thanks Uncle V.

I found that some of the best value meals were in the little Chinatown area.

Lots of choice in a small section and pretty good food, especially fish dishes and the other items are standard so you know what you will get.

Note: some of the restaurants have Cuban, Italian, and a little Chinese mixed menus.

[QUOTE=UncleVolodya;2182786]Getting good quality cheap and quick meals in Vedado can be challenging. I found some good paladars but very few cafe style places. The food at Sofia or at the Havana Libre's cafe was awful, service slow, and the latter ridiculously over-priced.

Fortunately I found a very nice little place close to my Casa. Otra Casa. Good food, quick service and cheap. Location is a bit out of the way. At he very end of Call L by the Malecon (close to the US Embassy) . But its a nice outdoor terrace, bright and sunny with a cool breeze, and I saw some cute girls there on occasion too.

Food is nothing fancy. Breakfast, Cuban platos, sandwiches, and Pizza. Most dishes 3-5 CUC. Also very good coffee and smoothies.

Most everything I had was good. I didn't like the Pizza, but its very popular (it hast that weird mealy crust common to Cuban pizza). I'd especially recommend the fried chicken plato.

Stay hungry my friends.

But it was a late Sunday afternoon so maybe not the busiest time. I've had American-Chinese, Thai-Chinese, and Malayan-Chinese food. I'm definitely curious about what Cuban-Chinese food tastes like.

Uncle V.[/QUOTE]Thanks! Is the place obvious to find at the end of L or how does it look like?

Seems like its very close to the casa I'm going to stay in, and indeed decent food is not easy to come by in Havana.

Dart, some other good eats can be had at "LOS Amigos" link - [URL]https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviews-g147271-d2285527-r205423973-Paladar_Los_Amigos-Havana_Ciudad_de_la_Habana_Province_Cuba.html[/URL].

LOS Amigos is one of my favorites, good food cheap!

Another good place is "Decameron" - [URL]http://www.cuba-junky.com/havana/restaurant_decameron.html[/URL].

Cost a little more but they have the best steaks in Havana.

And another is - "Razones" - [URL]https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviews-g147271-d3607582-r453856386-Razones-Havana_Ciudad_de_la_Habana_Province_Cuba.html[/URL].

Good food is hard to find in Havana, so this will be a good start, I have more if you're interested.

Cheers.

And for dessert, viva La Habana.

[QUOTE=Invision6606;2171963]I'm in Havana right now. I've been here for 2 days now. I went to fantasy on a Monday and it was full with working girls. They were coming up to me left and right. Last night we went to hit a taxi stand on the malecon and about 8 working girls came up to use look to hook up. I didn't feel any of the girls were scared to come up to foreigners. I'll check back with more input later on.[/QUOTE]Could you tell me the exact esplanade / neighborhood height, more toward the old Havana area or the big hotel and embassy area?

[QUOTE=RamoneAustin;2183767]Finally! A chica picture uploaded from another member. Gracias mi pana![/QUOTE]Si amigo, a trip down memory lane, here's the first Cubana I shagged in Cuba. Just got off the plane 2 hours before meeting her at Tablazos. I was hooked.

This 19 year old chica had the finest pussy I've had in 30 years, good god almighty was she passionate. Shagged her 3 days straight. Horniest girl I have ever been around, she would lay in bed and masterbate every chance she had, especially after I got my nut, she would get herself off while I watched. Wound up having a threesome with one of her friends, her friend would later become my main squeeze. They are incredibly jealous of each other now. Lost track of this gem. Damnit! My main girl got in my phone and deleted her contact numbers. Little *****.

Here's my main girl, she is fine.

[QUOTE=UncleVolodya;2181078]Hi JHappyDog, I am glad you liked the post and find it useful.

As far as approaching La Rampa girls I try to make eye contact then say "Hola!. " If she answers back she is approachable and very likely available. Introduce yourself, ask her name, compliment her on her beauty, then ask if she wants to come to you Casa "Quieres venir a mi casa conmigo? Some will ask right away "How much?" others not. If she is not into it don'e be an asshole and move on. There are plenty of girls.

It's that simple. It would be fun to take them for a drink or dinner first but they will be reluctant to go as they can get in trouble with the police. If you want to take it a little slower ask her if she wants to come to your casa to have a drink and listen to some music?.[/QUOTE]Thank you!

This is very helpful.

Hey Folks,

I'm thinking of coming down to Havana this weekend. Who's going to be around? I'm still going through the threads. However, are most hotels chica friendly? And, where is the best spot to lay my head?

If you had, then you would have noticed not one report mentions bringing a chick to a hotel.

I have been to Havana several times in recent years and each time I hit the usual spots: johnnys, casa de la musica, la maison, Q'bola, Bola Habana, Up and down, fantaxy etc. It has been hit or miss. Monday through Wednesday is fairly dead everywhere.

In recent years, the clubs have fewer chicas and the bars have more. There are exceptions though like Laura, Daniela Bolaos and Anita.

Laura I met in Don Cangrejo. She was wearing an insanely sexy red dress. I had to meet her if only for the dress. We start chatting and she hits me with the ridiculous asking rate of 120 cuc. I balked at that and was about to walk. She finally accepted the offer of 80. She claimed to be in her early 20's but I would guess probably late 20's. She is a little plump, you can tell with a few pound dropped she'the be very hot. At the casa she was nice enough. She showered, did some sexy dancing and twerking and so it started.

Later she stayed a while and we chatted. She told me about her tourist novio who she had and who sent her money and bought her a house. I guess they broke up. Or maybe not.

Daniela Bolanos I met in casa de la musica galiano. She was dressed provocatively, manicured fake nails, fake hair extensions, 168 cm, real big boobs. She has some swirly designed tattoo on her shoulder. Funny, it seemed the only word in English she knew was 'money'. Luckily she has a big chulo Yuniel Echevarria Dias who everyone calls him 'Ham'. Ham speaks English, so that was helpful considering my broken Spanish. Daniela is well known by the disco and bar crowd as a jinetera who, at 21, has been 'working' the discos for several years. Despite this she acts very sweet and innocent and actually is believable. She is a great lay and likes to do fetish things and does everything. After the deed, she was eager to go back to the club probably to take the money to Ham. As a lay, she was amazing, but be careful; I heard Daniela and Ham have swindled some tourists and they are involved in fraudulent and illegal activities. None the less, for me she is worth contacting again and I will definitely call her again next time I visit.

Daniela has two numbers (although not very prompt, she does eventually answer).

At La Maison I found a hottie Claudia, and spent some time dancing and flirting with her unfortunately I didn't get her photo. I was going to go home with her but at the last minute I noticed Anita. I had to let Claudia go and focus on Anita. Her body was what got me. I had to be with her. Anita and I talked for a bit and then head to casa around 2 am. Here's the funny part: as soon as we get to the casa she goes straight to the washroom and spends an excessively long time there. When she finally exits, the stench of a fresh dump is apparent. That's one way to leave a first impression! This chica really dampened the mood but what can you do?

She actually turned out to have a bit of a bad attitude, but her body was spectacular.
