Local Tips from Little Havana Dog Owners

  • Calle Ocho is walkable with dogs but gets crowded during cultural events and Viernes Culturales (last Friday of month)
  • Jose Marti Park along the river is the best green space - morning walks are peaceful
  • Many ventanitas (walk-up coffee windows) are dog-friendly - grab a cafecito while walking
  • Small dogs are very popular here - you will see many Chihuahuas and Yorkies on walks
