Little Havana
Little Havana is a neighborhood of Miami, Florida, United States. Home to many Cuban exiles, as well as many immigrants from Central and South America, Little Havana is named after Havana, the capital and largest city in Cuba. It is the best known Cuban exile neighborhood in the world. It is characterized by its street life, restaurants, music and other cultural activities, small business enterprises, political passion, and great warmth among its residents.
Little Havana is the center of Latin-American and Cuban culture in Miami. A colorful neighborhood filled with kitschy restaurants, bars, and art exhibitions, it is a haven for the Toreador and Brujah vampires.
The Toreadors gather in Little Havana, hoping to use the authentic art and music scene to find their next muse, and the Brujah are drawn to the combative, fighting spirit of the street gangs and advocates for their neighborhood.
For the changelings, the color, light and art are also a draw. Glamour oozes from the very streets in a way not many other places do - even in Miami, which is known as a haven for changelings. Eshus and Satyrs especially find places amongst the warm and passionate city streets.
Little Havana is noted as a center of social, cultural, and political activity in Miami. It is also known for its landmarks, including the Tower Theater, Domino Park, St. John Bosco Catholic Church and others.
