Las Novedades was founded on this site when Ybor Citywas a tiny village. Its proprietor was Manuel (Canuto )Menendez. The coffee shop was a favorite rendezvousfor the pioneer cigarmakers of Sanchez y Haya CigarFactory located across the street. In November 1891 LasNovedades was destroyed by fire. It reopened in 1892.
