Sloppy Joe's Bar
Havana, Cuba
In the 1950s, Havana was America's playground, it was so near and yet so foreign. Tourists enjoyed delicious concoctions of lime, mint, white rum and sparkling water known as Mojitos at famous watering holes, one of the most famous being Sloppy Joe's Bar. My grandparents made a trip there sometime in the early 1950's when this sharp photo was taken at the bar. It's really a very nice photo and fascinating too. Interestingly enough, the Sloppy Joe's Bar that Ernest Hemingway made famous was (and still is) located in Key West, Florida, the closest you can get in the United States (only 90 miles) to Cuba. |
