Thanks to you, we won First Place for
Tapas/Small Plates & Cuban American,
Second Place for Breakfast & Brunch, Best Cuban American and
Third Place for Carribean and International in Metroland Reader’s Poll

And Jim Lewis won for Best Local Visual Artist

When we reopened in 2008, Troy and the nation were on hard times. We felt that Troy needed a community hangout, a place where you could get great food and drink for a decent price. We’ve worked hard to give you that, and with all our hearts, we thank you for acknowledging us. All of you deserve these awards for making Carmen’s what it is—
We couldn’t do it without you, and we wouldn’t want to try!
