Haverstraw Restaurant Spotlight : La Cultura
Good Afternoon Everybody! How Are You Today?
Almost two years (hard to believe its been that long) Main Essentials in Haverstraw closed its doors and moved its healthy vegan cuisine down to Nyack. After the long wait, La Cultura has opened its door where Main Essentials previously was on 41 Main Street in the Village of Haverstraw.
La Cultura offers the “meat” of the day as well along with a rice and beans dish with a fresh steamed veggie plate. However, what separates La Cultura from Main Essentials is it vast healthy affordable menu that features falfels and hummus with tahini (my favorite cause I’m Israeli), whole wheat wraps and burritos, fajitas and everythjing else youy can think of. Another big difference between ME and La Cultura is that La Cultura has real meat and dairy options if you don’t care for vegan or vegetarian cuisine. Try one of the many sandwiches named after Dominican and Puerto Rican Baseball Stars like my favorite (Sandwich not ballplayer) The Manny, a chicken cheese steak with peppers, onions, mushrooms and cheddar jack cheese, yummy! There is a lunch menu and a dinner menu so you can go at night for nice quite meal.
The inside has great ambiance as it is decorated with art done by local patrons and on the weekends you might even catch a live jam session or drum circle and you can participate if you like. This is exactly the kind of place that the Village needs now. Healthy, affordable, artsy and musical, truly a great combo, I wish them the best of luck.

Hey Adam,
It looks good, I think I’ll check it out. Will they allow you to bring a bottle of wine for dinner?

I’m not sure, I would say go for it. If you go for dinner it will be low key and quiet, lunch is busier time.

Hey Adam, Thanks for showing me what this new place is all about. As you know, I’m one of Main Essentials biggest fans and I am very happy that they’re now in Nyack. That being said, I was kind of sad and felt a little guilty that they left Haverstraw to come to Nyack. Well now I don’t feel so bad. They’ve reinvented themselves being the geniuses they are and created a fantastic new Haverstraw hot spot. I think I’m going to have to come back up and visit La Cultura. See you there. Thanks for the video.

It looks like La Cultura is closed however, my sources tell me that this was only a test run and they will be opening up in a new space (bigger operation) across the street from Union, hope this is real and not another failed restaurant.
