The Habana brand, which includes multiple restaurant locations and the non-profit organization Habana Works, is committed to using business as a medium to foster community. In 1998, Sean Meenan launched the first Café Habana in a landmark diner in New York City’s NoLita neighborhood. Decades later, Café Habana remains an institution, whose footprint has expanded with additional Habana family locations in Brooklyn – including a first-of-its-kind eco-conscious restaurant concept, Habana Outpost in Fort Greene, Brooklyn's Barclays Center, Malibu California, and New Orleans – as well as global locations in Tokyo and Dubai.
