Description: Next BKLYN Green Drinks:
Wednesday 8/19
at Habana Outpost in Fort Greene, Brooklyn NY
Join us each third Wednesday this summer at Habana Outpost.
The Outpost is an ecologically oriented space, and serves the same delicious Latin-inspired cuisine found at Manhattan’s Café Habana. As the first Eco-Eatery in New York, the Outpost aims to push the envelope of ecological design while bringing neighbors, environmentalists, artists and families together into one courtyard. Eco-friendly designs and materials, a community market, kid’s events, movie nights, educational programs, and local artist exhibitions.
Oscar Teco, Nephew of Alfredo Teco (Café Habana’s chef) works his magic from the outdoor food truck while crafting a mouthwatering, Latin-inspired menu including the renowned grilled corn.
Interested in some of the Green Initiatives?
That drink you’re sipping comes in a biodegradable corn-starch cup. The utensils are made of the same. The plates are crafted from sugar cane. Outpost power is supplemented by solar panels in the courtyard. Most of the lighting is a combination of state-of-the-art, energy efficient, fluorescent technology…and of course the oldest eco-energy source, the sun, which illuminates the world’s first sunlit chandelier! Just when you thought patrons were merely innocent bystanders, think again. The fruit smoothie you’re holding got smoothed by YOU thanks to the “Bike Blender”. Many building materials are made from eco-friendly composites (Trex), natural renewables (sunflower seed, wheat, and vegetable starch) and reclaimed resources.
