Little Havana hums. Energy surges down Calle Ocho, the Miami neighborhood’s primary artery. Salsa and rumba sound up and down the street, the music making its way from the stages out the open fronts of the clubs, compelling some to dance on the sidewalks.
The vibrations are strongest at Domino Park, the absolute core of La Pequeña Habana. It’s formally known as Máximo Gómez Park, and if you come at midday, every table will be full of zealous and devoted domino players. The clack of the tiles is constant, overwhelmed only by the animated—and mostly amiable—patter of passionate competition.
