The Bite:
imageIn search of an ear of corn good enough to make you merengue and do the cha-cha? Can do: droolworthy Long Island cob topped with Cotija cheese and chili powder at Habana Outpost – get some before HO closes for winter. Take on Tony by hopping on the human-powered bike blender to whip up your margarita; pedaling yourself keeps your metabolism up (read: less brutal hangover), saves energy, and knocks a buck off your drink if you do it yourself. The solar-powered eatery also sports a compost area, recycled aluminum tables, and biodegradable plates and napkins. There's music and fashion too: Catch the Scrapkins fashion show next Monday while feasting on the hottest Cuban Sandwich north of Havana.
Wanna Try: 
Habana Outpost, 757 Fulton St. and S. Portland Ave. (718-858-9500). Open Apr. 1-Oct. 31, closed Tuesdays. Famous Corn, $2.

Cocktail Fact

The Republic of Cuba (including its more than 4,000 islands) have no plants or animals lethal to humans.

Small Changes Add Up

If 10,000 NY Biters bike-blend one frozen drink instead of using a conventional blender, we'll save enough energy to power an average American home for nearly one month.
