Havana Central takes private and semi-private events from 10 to 250 guests across two floors in Times Square. Corporate dinners, networking evenings, holiday parties, rehearsal dinners and full wedding receptions are all on the events menu. The restaurant is at 151 West 46th Street in New York.
Seminars and company events
The events team lists private meetings, corporate celebrations, pharmaceutical dinners and networking events among the groups it hosts. Audiovisual setup is available, so a short presentation before dinner is possible. Party sizes run from 10 to 250 guests, and the site says the mix is split between social celebrations and corporate functions. A day-long seminar with several breakout rooms is not what this place is set up for. It suits an evening program, a team dinner, a client reception or a year-end gathering.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings are handled as well. The restaurant names rehearsal dinners, engagement parties, bridal showers, baby showers and anniversary dinners, and says it can organize an entire wedding, reception included. Guests who want a Cuban theme will find it carried through the room, the menus and the music.
Rooms and capacities
Three named spaces are listed. The Glass Room holds 20 to 25 people. The VIP Section holds 30. The Mezzanine holds 100 people and has its own private bar. For the largest groups, the whole restaurant can be taken over for up to 250 guests. Private and semi-private options are offered, so a smaller group can book a defined area while the restaurant keeps operating around it.
Catering
Food and drink are provided in house. Organizers choose among prix fixe, family-style, buffet and cocktail-style menus, and bar packages can be added on top. The cooking is Cuban, and the venue also presents itself as a rum bar. Birthday groups receive a flan and a fedora from the staff, which gives an idea of how informal the service is. Teams that want a formal sit-down can pick the prix fixe format.
History and setting
Havana Central has served guests for more than 20 years. The interior is modeled on 1950s Cuba, with a vintage look across both floors. It sits in the middle of Times Square, which makes it easy to combine with a show, a Radio City visit or a night at a nearby hotel. The restaurant specifically mentions holiday parties for groups seeing the Radio City Christmas Spectacular.
Getting there
The address is 151 West 46th Street, New York, NY 10036, in the Theater District near Times Square. Event inquiries go to the events specialists by phone or through the inquiry form on the official site. Guests coming from out of town will find many hotels within walking distance, though the venue itself has no bedrooms.
