I was at Habana Cuba, a local go-to for Cuban food in the South Bay that is also shaking up the breakfast scene. Tropical morning cocktails and intriguing plates like the “not-so-French” Cuban French toast have drawn many diners to this iconic location on Race Street, which is now serving a Cuban brunch from 8am to 1pm on the weekends.
Spacebar, written under the auspices of his drama teacher, Mr. Ramirez, is finished and, in his estimation, ready for the Great White Way. In a letter addressed to “Broadway,” Kyle explains that Spacebar isn’t about the space key on a computer—that would be ridiculous. No, it’s about a bar in outer space, in the year 9013.
Hai Nam, a new Vietnamese restaurant in East San Jose, is centered on chicken, particularly its flagship dish, com ga hai nam (whence the name of the place is derived).
