GREAT MOMENTS IN KNOWING YOUR AUDIENCE: ‘Inspired by Che Guevara and Fidel Castro,’ a New York restaurant missteps in Miami.

A Mexican hangout where the late Cuban dictator Fidel Castro and Che Guevara plotted the Cuban revolution is the inspiration behind a New York City restaurant opening a location soon in downtown Miami.

Miami is having a problem with this.

Café Habana, set to open at 229 S Miami Ave. in the Spring of 2022, opened its first location inside a converted New York diner in 1997. The concept is a fusion of Cuban and Mexican cuisine — with a backstory rooted in communist revolutionary lore.

“Inspired by a storied Mexico City hangout, where legend has it Che Guevara and Fidel Castro plotted the Cuban Revolution, the flagship Café Habana location was created out of an old-school New York diner in 1997. Eighteen years later, Café Habana remains an institution…” read a description on the restaurant’s website until this week.

That information was scrubbed from the restaurant’s website and Google in the days after people in Miami discovered the restaurant’s backstory.

Interesting theme for a restaurant — particularly one located in Miami — considering, as Moe Lane once wrote, Marxism “tends to attract the sort who can’t understand that an economic system that cannot feed its own population reliably has failed at the game of Life. Literally.”
