From Friday, April 20
through Tuesday, April 24, Chef-Partner Guillermo Pernot of Penn
Quarter's Cuba Libre Restaurant & Rum Bar (801 9th Street,
NW, 202.408.1600) will bring an intimate group of 15 travelers to Havana,
Cuba for a rare look at the island. Working with Insight Cuba, the leading provider of authorized people-to-people travel
to Cuba for U.S. citizens, Chef Pernot accompanied by his Cuban-born wife Lucia,
whose great-great-grandfather was Cuba’s 3rd president, together will
be hosting guests and offering the first chance for most Americans to travel to
the island which, until recently, has been restricted by embargo-era U.S.
regulations.
