Little Havana
Cuban exile enclave
Little Havana is a neighborhood in Miami, Florida, known as the cultural center of the Cuban-American community.
Named after Cuba's capital, it became home to waves of Cuban exiles after the 1959 revolution.
The area is famous for its Cuban restaurants, cigar shops, and Calle Ocho, its main commercial street.
By extension, any heavily Cuban enclave in a U.S. city may be called a Little Havana.
