Little Havana
Little Havana is the date you take when you want the conversation to do the work. Calle Ocho runs the spine: Ball and Chain for live son cubano and mojitos on the back patio, Versailles for 1am cafecito at the ventanita, Cubaocho for rum flights surrounded by pre-revolution Cuban art. Domino Park is a legitimate first stop - sit, watch the regulars slap tiles, eat a guava pastelito from Azucar across the street. Tradeoff: this is the most male-skewed zone in Miami by a wide margin, parking on Eighth Street is a contact sport, and the neighborhood thins fast east of 17th Avenue. Viernes Culturales is when it peaks.
