Millions Expected At Puerto Rican Day Parade
NEW YORK (CBS) ―
Over 2 million were expected to turn out for the 2010 Puerto Rican Day Parade in the Big Apple.
Fifth Avenue will once again be a sea of… more than 2 million people… to celebrate their Puerto Rican heritage.
"It's just an incredible experience. It's a sense of pride, unity, a sense of cultural contributions, it is…an incredible message for the younger generation that is watching this, that is participating," said Rep. Nydia Velazquez.

There is little on the face of the earth as hot as Latin culture in general, and Puerto Rican culture, in particuliar. Being hot, of course can be great and not so hot. But for passion in art, love, and living, it is terrific! The Latin culture as a whole speaks to me from Picasso to the South American beauties; they have, IMHO Today, the most extraordinary looking women in the world. I lived in Spanish Harlem for more than ten years. I am presently living in Hartford, whose residency is probably 75% Hispanic. My neighborhood is primarily Puerto Rican and Brazilian and I must say that I love the Latin flavor. The Churrascaria Brazil Grill is an amazing restaurant right around the corner from my home. The aroma will arrest you a block away; with every meat you can imagine slow roasting on spits over an open flame right before your eyes. The spices create an indescribably delicious meal, and though the ambiance is very plain, (There is a jumbo screen showing soccer games) the prices are unbeatable. It’s truly a delicious choice and only one of many in my little Latin Paradise.

Though I love and respect the melting pot principles that have made The United States great, I do love the little chunks of undiluted culture I have experienced in our great community!
Viva la difference
