is Miami's Cuban neighborhood with Latin American art galleries , cigar shops, and
restaurants. Cafes with walk-up windows sell Cuban coffee for a lift on a very
long tour day. Walk down Calle Ocho on its Walk of Fame for famous
artists and Latin personalities including Celia Cruz and Gloria Estefan
on Calle Ocho Southwest eighth Street you can see people playing dominoes at
Maximo Gomez Park called Domino Park by locals. You can also go to the historic
tower theater to see independent films or go to local clubs to hear live Latin
music. South of Calle Ocho on Southwest 13th avenues you'll find the Cuban Memorial
Boulevard. Here you'll see the eternal torch of the brigade of 2506
commemorating those who were killed in the Bay of Pigs invasion of 1961. You
continue your tour you also see Plaza de Cubanas fountain and monument that
gives tribute both to the Cuban provinces and to the people who were
trying to escape from Cuba in 1994 Here's a tip: if you want to go to a
little Havana's visitor center it doesn't open until 11:00 a.m. so if you
need to use the restroom or get something to eat stop by that uniquely
decorated McDonald's nearby. Here's a tip: if you want to try Cuban food then
you've got to go to Versailles Cuban restaurant. It's been open since 1971
it's located at 3555 eighth Street. This is certainly one of
my favorite restaurants when I'm here in Miami. Try some stuffed green plantains
they're stuffed with shrimp creole pineapple and cilantro. what I like best
are their weekly specials which offer especially great deals. Food is good and
it really is reasonably priced. They also have a bakery as well. They are pretty bus
here so try to not come during rush hour There's a lot to see in this area. stop
by one of the shops to learn about cigars; listen to some great music and dance the
night away; have a mojito and some fried plantains; and relax the night away in
Little Havana. Happy Travels. Go to hipfig.com for more information
