Cienfuegos adding a 'bitters tasting room'

Looks as if some new elements are being added to the Cienfuegos Cuban-eatery complex on Avenue A at Sixth Street... First, EV Grieve reader Creature notes that Carteles, the one-time sandwich shop here...


...will now be Amor Y Amargo — "a bitters tasting room" ... and a few other things...




Meanwhile, EV Grieve correspondent Bobby Williams noted some work being done on EL Cobre, the main restaurant yesterday ...



Later in the day, Bob Arihood took this photo... looks as if they'll be some open-air dining-drinking now on the corner...

[Via Nadie Se Conoce]

And, as a PS, El Cobre is named after the town where Cuba's patron saint is located... a duplicate statue is on display inside...

    Oh yeah, I'm sure that the Nimrods who flood this neighborhood nightly will be lining up to bathe their sophisticated taste buds with applications of bitter liquors. The resulting "Wooos" would definitely not mean the same thing. (Unless we're talking Jaegermeister, in which case all bets are off.)

    This place looks amazing. Hopefully it flies under the radar.

    ...for mice, insects, "personal cleanliness", and cold food above 41 degrees.

    Funny thing is, I don't remember them being open last July, I think the former italian joint that was there was already closed by then too.
