Beauty & Essex

Type:American

Description:The place actually has a real pawn shop in the front. So for first timers you wonder what is this? But behind the doors is a very cool place for both dinner and drinks, we personally do not like the food too much, but for drinking it is definitely happening.

Type:Cuban

Description:Excellent cuban food and amazing mixed drinks. This is a fairly fancy place, but great atmosphere. It is a bit isolated from anything else located in the southmost area of the city, but well worth it for the food & drinks.
