I strongly recommend this casual excellent restaurant of Cafe Habana in Prince Street/Manhattan. It's a small place and always busy, but the short wait is still worth it.
They have amazing grilled corn with special spices and sauce, and great Cuban Sandwich. Worth and a must visit when in NYC, especially in Downtown area.
No ... it has not. It opened at the end of the '90s. There was once an actual diner-ish place there, also Cubans, many artists and neighborhood people ate there every day.
It is a transplant locus, one of the places that opened in the area to serve that demographic coincident with the founding of "Nolita." The transplants did not feel welcome at the neighborhood institutions, actually they probably were not, so they opened their own, making sure that they were not contaminated with anything foreign-ly "New York."
A similar place was "Von," on Bleecker. Don't know (or care) if that's still open. The neighborhood is now about über-luxury residences so perhaps not.

Not exactly. It was different there.
The rich white folks who did own for a century or something sold to rich white transplants and a few greedy developers (who also happened to be white).
The hipsters came more recently. And I would say "euro-trash" more than hipsters.
