Every 2nd Sunday of May, Mother’s Day is celebrated in the United States. It is a day in which we commemorate mothers and show them just how much we love them. (We don’t really need a holiday to let mami know how much we love her but this is a great excuse to go out to eat!)
These babes would not be here if it weren’t for our amazing mothers who have always supported us in all of our endeavors. We wanted to do something special for them and at the same time show our followers a good time. What better way to celebrate MOM then to take her to a LIVE restaurant that has an amazing ambiance, great food and not to mention serves BRUNCH!
The babes have had an eye out for Havana Central (West End location) ever since we heard that it was voted one of the “Top 10 Best Places in New York for Groups” by OpenTable diners, so we made reservations and decided to make it a family affair and include both of our families.
(We made reservations early because we know how packed places can get on Mother’s Day. Pre-planning is always a must for big holidays/occasions. You do not want to get left out of eating that churrasco because you failed to make reservations.)
Since we had a large group we wanted to order several items off the drinks and appetizers menu to show you all (and our tummys) the different options Havana Central has to offer. We set it off with a pitcher of sangria and the waitress actually prepared the sangria right at our table! We were all pretty amazed by this and toasted to our wonderful mommas.
Now for the entrees: (My goodness this post is making be super hungry!)

Every single dish was DELICIOUS. At no point did anyone dislike anything on their plate and that my friends is what we call SATISFACTION!
But we are not done yet! What is a meal without dessert? Yes, we did have dessert because it was a special occasion and our mommas wanted something sweeter than them.What momma asks for she gets!

| Flan |

| Tres Leche |
Our mother's were so happy and truly enjoyed their time at Havana Central thanks to our friends that created such a great vibe. They are already asking us when we are coming back!
We hear that they are planning a nice Father's Day Brunch fiesta next month and guess what? The Babes have been asked to "Guest Report" for this event! We will be reporting LIVE from Havana Central next month. Looks like this will turn into a family tradition. Stay tuned! Follow us on twitter @brunchinee for more updates!
