Green Tacos!

Looking for an eco-friendly meal? Habana Outpost, New York’s first solar-powered eco-eatery, and the newest addition to the Habana chain, has just the thing. Artist and restaurateur Sean Meenan created the Outpost in 2005, envisioning a restaurant that focused on sustainability and fun.

Mission accomplished.

Not only are the frozen mojitos delicious, but the setup includes a solar paneled awning that powers the restaurant, toilets that run on recycled rainwater and picnic tables made from recycled plastic bottles and sawdust.

Meenan also launched Habana Works, a non-profit organization that provides free sustainability workshops using art, architecture, video and design to engage people of all ages and backgrounds.

So if you’re in the mood for some earth friendly Latin-inspired cuisine check out the Outpost. They’re changing New York, one taco at a time.
