Little Haiti is the rare case where the game seems to skip the pun: confirmed location lists show the district under its real-world name. The actual Little Haiti is Miami’s Haitian cultural heart, stretched along NE 2nd Avenue north of Downtown.

The real district centers on the Little Haiti Cultural Complex and the Caribbean Marketplace, a colorful landmark modeled on Port-au-Prince’s Iron Market. Around them: bakeries, botanicas, record stores and murals, with galleries arriving as the art crowd spills north from Wynwood.

Whether the in-game version keeps the name at release, and how faithfully it renders the district, remains TODO to verify against footage.

How to get there

From Miami International (MIA), 20 minutes by car northeast; the cultural core sits around NE 2nd Avenue and 59th-62nd Streets.

Best time to visit

November to April for walking weather; Big Night in Little Haiti, a free monthly music evening at the Cultural Complex, is the best introduction.
