We celebrated with a birthday brunch at Haven Rooftop before heading to the Buena Vista Social Club musical — an electrifying show that blends Grammy-winning Afro-Cuban music with pure theatrical joy, leaving the entire Schoenfeld Theatre on their feet. Nearly a decade ago, I had the privilege of seeing the original in Cuba.

We started with a round of cocktails and mocktails, ranging from $12 to $20.

The menu offered classic brunch fare: bagel & lox ($22), omelets ($21–$23), home fries ($9), steak & eggs ($34), french fries ($15) and huevos rancheros ($19).

We wrapped up with coffees — ranging from a cappuccino to a double espresso ($6–$11) — alongside a complimentary birthday cheesecake, before heading to theatre.

I highly recommend both!
