Cafe Habana is adding yet another outpost to their repertoire, which already includes the casual restaurant in Soho and the smaller Habana Outpost. Habana To-Go, planned to open in Fort Greene, will offer takeout and delivery and will be open year-round, in contrast to the Outpost which closes for the winter.
Push-Button Pizza-Delivery Service
Washington, D.C-based iStrategyLabs is in the process of launching an innovative way of ordering pizza. The “Pie Pal” widget allows users to select the number of pizzas they want delivered. With the push of an LED button, their wish is Domino’s command in thirty minutes time.
Pie Pal is currently seeking Beta testers.
