Miami moves to a Latin rhythm, especially since the influx of Cuban refugees in the 1960s. A stroll along Little Havana's main artery S.W. Eighth Street--called Calle Ocho--yields many delights. In the morning, the fragrance of robust Cuban coffee drifts from open coffee windows. At lunchtime, wash down inexpensive and delicious meals like puerco asado or grilled seafood with a cold Presidente. Browse for cigars and guayabera shirts, or visit Domino Park. Mojito cocktails and live rumba music make Calle Ocho one of Miami's best nights out. If that night happens to be the last Friday of any month, you're in luck. That's when the evening street fair called Cultural Fridays happens.
