    The history is written on the walls, and on the celings, and the lamps, fans and anything else in the place. I didn't have time to look at everything as there is just way too much.

    This is the main downstairs bar. Note the signature at the top of Ernest Hemingway. Evidently he was a regular at the original Bodeguita in Havana, Cuba and even wrote about it in one of his books.

    We had the nice upstairs area for our dinner. When we first came in It was full of a group of young people who had just won thge championship Ballroom Dancing competition. The food was good, nice portions, and Cuban. Since I don't really know what Cuban food is like I can't say, but it was definitely different than typical Mexican. And it was good.

    More of the upstairs area. People seem to take a while to eat and enjoy. These were in here before we came and some where still there when we left. It was a calm, relaxing place (after the ballroom champs left, ha).

    If you download the fullsize copy of the photo and view it at full-size, you can see a lot of interesting things on that wall. The big white framed paper in the middle is a note from Salvador Allende on his visit in 1961.
