Anyone going to the Puerto Rican Day Parade?

May 31st right? Or June 8th? I'm not sure which it is anymore... I just know I always managed to be flying to Puerto Rico the day or week of the parade and missed it.

June 08th.

I should go this year. It's been ages since I've don't anything 'puerto rican' other than make rice with raisins in it.

LOL

What are you celebrating on this day?

Don't really know.
I'm not Puerto Rican.
Maybe CBW can enlighten us.

Its mainly a cultural thing. Its where Ricans in the US can go and celebrate there culture and island. Mayors and bands from PR. go there. Really large parade.

lol, everyone goes there, not even just peurto ricans. its good stuff, music, FOOD... Buuuut, I think I'm the only PRican in the world that's not too fond of NY to make the trip up there.

Do you know any Puerto Ricans from California that travel to NY just for that?

And girls!

There are Puerto Ricans in Cali?!

LOL, no, no I don't. I'm a 6 hour drive away from NY and I can't be bothered, I really can't see anyone flying out from Cali for it unless they're visiting family or something.

@ttocs - I have to admit, girls aren't really my most intense interest when I go to these things.

That's because you're not a dude. lol

oh.. let us afers go out and get a few drinks..

What do you drink?

Come on now, PR Day parade, it's got to be coquitos and borinquens.

*raises hand*

well, half of me anyways.

LOL, I just always figured there were too many mexicans there for us to be comfortable. That and it's so far away from NY and puerto rico.

lol. I think it was my dad's idea to move from New York to SoCal. Most of my Chinese relatives are here.

EVERYTHING.. UP FOR IT?

JAKECUTTER - KOJ PUAB NYOB HAUS NEW YORK?

I'm on the other side of the country.

OH THAT EXPLAINS IT.

**holds up PR flag**

How many of those states have multiple army instillations?

So, no one is going?

LOL, sorry buddy.

My friend goes to teh PR parade in NY, dude says Latin kings and bloods always starting $hit for no reason. Plus mad dudes just go there to try and get boriqua love...dominicans, blacks, cubans.. etc

PR girls are sexy as fck though. wish there was some in cali. ny seems to be the place for real PR's.

"The Puerto Rican Day Parade (also known as the National Puerto Rican Day Parade) takes place annually along Fifth Avenue in New York City, on the second Sunday in June, in honor of the nearly 4 million Puerto Ricans and all people of Puerto Rican birth or heritage. In 2006, more than 80,000 participants marched and nearly 2 million spectators lined the parade route[1]. The parade always attracts many celebrities, both Puerto Rican and of Puerto Rican heritage, and many politicians from the tri-state area.
The parade marches along Fifth Avenue from 44th Street to 86th Street and has grown to become the largest parade in New York City with close to three million spectators annually it is one the largest parades in the country."
