Cuban restaurant a tourism magnet

HAVANA - It is not easy to get a table at Havana's storied eatery La Bodeguita del Medio, which has been operating for 76 years and remains a tourism magnet.

While most restaurants enjoy a period of popularity before fading away, Bodeguita's fame only seems to grow with time.

Beyond its delicious Cuban fare and ideal location in Havana's Old Quarter, Bodeguita has US writer Ernest Hemingway to thank for its international renown.
