Barry Shorts
Description: To find the "hottest spot north of Havana," you'll actually have to fly way north to New York City. Head to Times Square and you'll find Copacabana Night Club. Barry Manilow was a regular during the ‘60s when the club featured showgirls just like Lola, "with yellow feathers in her hair and a dress cut down to there." The hit song spurred the club to add a Latin night in 1978, a tradition that continues even today. Just head to Copacabana on a Tuesday night and salsa your heart out.
