We broke the news a couple of weeks ago that Latitude was merging with The Cascade Room and Habit Lounge (it’s a family affair) and would shut down for some slight design tweaks by the room’s original aesthetes and an expansion of chef Lisa Henderson’s Pan-American menu. We’ve been told that both are coming along nicely. It seems as if the bar program is now getting the most attention. Nick Devine – who created the cocktail lists at both Habit and Cascade – has created a new cocktail list and will be behind the bar when the refreshed Latitude re-opens, serving all the classic Latin cocktails (think Margaritas, Caipirinhas, Mojitos, Batidas, Pisco Sours, Daiquiris, etc), and to complement them, Henderson is plating a selection of “bar forward” arepas dishes.

Re-opening day is scheduled for this upcoming Thursday, March 3rd.
