The follar gains in Isle of Youth

NUEVA GERONA, April 29 (Carlos Serpa Maceira, UPECI / www.cubanet.org) - Local authorities say they will reopen a popular restaurant in Nueva Gerona, but this time, service will be provided exclusively in US dollars.

"After remaining closed for months for repairs, the El Corderito restaurant will reopen to service the dollar market on May 1," said a source who didn't want to be identified.

The restaurant used to operate in the peso economy, although its prices were high. Now it will be called Palmar.

It will join 27 businesses in the downtown area of Nueva Gerona operating in the dollar economy. Another dollar outlet, the Di Tú cafeteria, specializing in fried chicken, sausages, beer and soft drinks, will open shortly in the area.

Residents mostly resent the dollar establishments, since, they say, their income is in pesos.
