Miami's Little Havana Showcases Cuban Life
By Ade Astuti
Miami, Florida
03 August 2007
Little Havana boasts the largest population of Cubans outside the island.
One business owner in little Havana, Miami, Carol Ann Weaver, describes it, "This is a very ethnic, ripe, colorful, musical and interesting neighborhood."
William Talbert, Greater Miami Convention & Visitors Bureau, explains how Little Havana was born. "When Castro took over Cuba, most of the professionals in Cuba left. And, they came to the closest area they could get to which was Miami. There was a famous processing center here. We became the Ellis Island for the Cubans."
Cuban culture flourishes in Little Havana. Old Cuban men discuss
politics over games of dominos. Cuban style cigars are readily available in neighborhood shops. And art galleries exhibiting unique artwork by Cuban Americans line the streets.
No visit to Little Havana is complete without enjoying popular Cuban dishes like
Ropa Vieja -or shredded beef - and Cuban Skirt Steak.
Romo Montano owns "Romo," a popular restaurant frequented by Shakira, Marc Anthony, Pele and other celebrities. Montano left Cuba as a child and has lived in Little Havana ever since. "I came up with the idea of bringing people from outside Little Havana to come and see me, and see what Little Havana is all about. I really thank God for the opportunity of being here in the place where I grew up."
The neighborhood's festive mood and Latin music keeps visitors and locals alike talking and dancing all night long in Little Havana's restaurants and clubs.
邁阿密的小哈瓦那展現(xiàn)古巴人的生活
小哈瓦那自夸擁有古巴除島嶼之外的最多的人口。
邁阿密的商人Carol Ann Weaver描述小哈瓦那時(shí)說道：“這是一個(gè)非常民族的，成熟的，多彩的，愛好音樂的，有趣味的近鄰。
美國大邁阿密區(qū)會(huì)議與觀光局的William Talbert解釋小哈瓦那是怎么形成的。“當(dāng)卡斯特羅掌管古巴時(shí)，古巴的大部分專業(yè)人員離開了。他們來到了附近地區(qū)，那就是邁阿密。這里有一著名的加工中心。對古巴人來說我們成為了埃利斯島。”
古巴文化繁榮于小哈瓦那。老古巴人討論一些關(guān)于骨牌效應(yīng)的政治問題。附近商店已備有古巴風(fēng)格香煙。街道的藝?yán)汝惲兄虐兔绹说莫?dú)一無二的藝術(shù)作品。
沒有去過小哈瓦那的人完全享受不到古巴的菜肴，像古巴燉牛肉，牛肉炒飯和古巴青檸肋排。
Romo Montano 擁有“Romo”，一個(gè)非常流行的飯店，常常出沒于名人，如：Shakira, Marc Anthony, Pele 和其他名人。當(dāng)Montano是小孩時(shí)離開了古巴，從此在小哈瓦那定居。“我有個(gè)想法，使小哈瓦那外邊的人們回來看看我，看看小哈瓦那。我真的感謝上天給我一個(gè)在這里出生成長的機(jī)會(huì)。
周圍的歡快氣氛和拉丁音樂使小哈瓦那飯店和酒吧的旅行者和當(dāng)?shù)鼐用褚徽拐勌煺f地，激情跳舞。
