El Faro (digital Newspaper)
''El Faro'' is a Salvadoran online digital newspaper, founded in 1998.

History Jorge Simán, of Palestinian origin and Carlos Dada, of Greek-Lebanese origin, are the founders of the newspaper.

El Faro Restaurant
El Faro Restaurant was a small Spanish food emporium located at 823 Greenwich Street in the West Village of Manhattan, New York City. El Faro opened in 1927 and shuttered in 2012 after failing to raise over $80,000 to pay off fines and expenses. Its first set of owners, Manuel Rivas and Edwardo Cabana, ran the establishment as a Spanish bar and grill.

The restaurant was located near 14th Street, an area close to Eighth Avenue that became known as "Little Spain". José Perez and his son Joe Pérez, the newest owners of the restaurant, were interviewed by director Artur Balder in the 2010 documentary ''Little Spain'', in order to shine a light on the memories of Little Spain and its most important landmarks, The band Amaranthe recorded part of the music video That Song in the restaurant.
