The western portion of Little Havana
As a western portion of Little Havana, West Flagler is alive with Cuban culture while creating its own identity. It’s named for the major throughway that bisects it — West Flagler Street — but Cuban life is everywhere, from the active Cuban culinary scene to the Hispanic products offered at smaller grocery stores. “I know people who have lived here their whole lives without learning English because they don’t have to,” shares Islara Souto, the collective Impact Coordinator at Healthy Little Havana, a local nonprofit aiming to improve the neighborhood through comprehensive initiatives.
Ventanitas and abuela-style food in West Flagler
At Centro City Plaza, residents can shop for groceries at Target. At Plaza De Leon, a Publix provides an additional option for buying groceries. “Stores are very Hispanic centered,” Souto says. Chains often carry imported goods and products.
