We couldn’t leave Miami (Jan 2020) without checking out Little Havana. Little Havana is one of the most well know Cuban exile neighborhoods in the world and a cultural hub with lively streets full of art, food, and music. You can feel the heart and energy, and we could not get enough!
With little time to research, we opted to take a food tour with miami_culinary_tours to see, learn, and eat as much as possible on our walk down Calle Ocho. We’re so glad we did! Our guide, friendly with the locals, shared all sorts of interesting stories and facts that we wouldn’t have been able to find online! 🇨🇺🐓
ballandchainmia has a long history in Little Havana; serving up live music, amazing mojitos, and is a great place for dancing 💃🏻 and people watching.
We also tried:
🧉 Fresh Squeezed sugarcane juice at a long standing, family owned market, los_pinarenos_fruteria
🔥havana_classic_cigar
🍞 Authentic Cuban Sandwiches at Old Havana’s Cuban Bar & Cocina
☕️ Cafécito and empanadas elpubrestaurant
🍨 Abuela Maria Ice Cream at azucaricecream
🥮 Guava and Cream Cheese Puff Pastry yisellbakery
My 1st guava dessert was with suzanahausner at her family home in descubrapedralva,and mmm!, did the guava cream cheese puff at yisellbakery take me back! Of course, we went for the guava and cream cheese flavored ice cream as well. Cheese + Guava is a to-die-for combo if you have the chance to try it! 🤤

In an explosive newly released court document, a former City of Miami manager testified under oath that he witnessed first-hand that City of Miami commissioner Joe Carollo was “targeting” code enforcement against certain businesses in Little Havana in order to shut them down.
The new transcript was released as part of a lawsuit winding its way through federal courts, alleging that the City of Miami “deployed a deliberate policy” of harassing and shutting down a group of bars and restaurants in Little Havana with which Carollo had a political feud. Another similar lawsuit is also separately in the federal courts.
City of Miami attorneys sought to keep sworn testimony from former City Manager Emilio Gonzalez confidential. In an order entered last week, U.S. District Court Judge Lissette Reid ruled that the testimony cannot be kept secret.
In sworn statements, Gonzalez said he witnessed Commissioner Joe Carollo direct city resources to shut down specific businesses in Little Havana, including the Ball & Chain salsa club.
He called it ‘targeting.’
The testimony from the former city manager marks a potential turning point in a pair of lawsuits that allege several departments of the city government were used to go after certain businesses for code violations, and those certain businesses alone.
Attorney J.C. Planas, who has been involved in efforts to recall Commissioner Carollo, told WLRN that the testimony “puts in black and white what I already suspected.”

These are my best friends, we actually have never been in one room together. I have a unique relationship with each one, yet all of these women are HILARIOUS, INTELLIGENT, and insanely GORGEOUS. Plus they threw me an unforgettable bachelorette party!

Attorney J.C. Planas, who has been involved in efforts to recall Commissioner Carollo, told WLRN that the testimony “puts in black and white what I already suspected.”

These are my best friends, we actually have never been in one room together. I have a unique relationship with each one, yet all of these women are HILARIOUS, INTELLIGENT, and insanely GORGEOUS. Plus they threw me an unforgettable bachelorette party! There are definitely a few important ladies missing but you know who you are. #miAmy #miami #bacheloretteparty #dirtydancing #calleocho #beautyandbrains ballandchainmia #ballandchainmia
I`m one lucky guy!!! Not often do people have the opportunity to work with their significant other let alone have the chemistry we have. 😍

Everyday ballandchainmia is full of laughter, fun, and smiles. Located in Little Havana, ballandchainmia brings a piece of home to Miami showing people from all over their authentic food, music and dance.
I got to try the Conch Ceviche, and a awesome Mojito. If you like cigars you can purchase one from ballandchainmia too!
At night ballandchainmia take things up a notch and the party really gets started. Live music, great food, dancing, drinks what else could anyone ask for.

Today’s #tbt🔙 is PALO! “Camina Con Los Codos". Full video on YouTube (bio). A love letter to Miami’s Little Havana, which is currently identified as a Covid “hotspot”. 😭
May the gods inspire us all to take the proper steps.
