Calle 8
A nesting ground for Cuban immigrants since the ’60s, Calle 8 is one street in America you’d have little success asking directions in English. This vibrant street tucked in the neighborhood of Little Havana is dotted with Cuban restaurants, cigar shops, movie theaters, and the Maximo Gomez Park, otherwise known as “Domino Park”—a traditional meeting spot for Cuban veterans who have been playing dominos there for over 40 years. Get a taste of Cuban food such as the Cuban sandwich or media noche at some of the landmark restaurants, including Versailles, La Carreta, and El Exquisito.
