It seems Havana Central has gotten their hands on the email addresses of several Columbia student groups! Lately they’ve been spamming inboxes with invitations to celebrate New Years Eve with the good folks at the wholly unpopular M’side watering hole.

The flyer advertises “strong Cuban drinks PLUS New Years party favors” (emphasis ours). But wait! There’s más.

For just $195 (a bargain given that they’re providing the New Years party favors!), you can purchase one ticket to party during the 10pm shift at Havana Central’s Times Sq. branch–what we’re calling Havana Central Central. But worry not, cheapskates and early-birds: If you plan to ring in 2008 at 6pm, seating at Havana Central Central is just $125.

And thus concludes Havana Central (Central)’s completely brilliant plan to attract Columbia patrons by throwing a $200-per-ticket party in the middle of the University’s 39-day winter break.

See you there, comrades!
