Puerto Ricans On Parade

The pride of Puerto Rico is on grand display today up on 5th Avenue. Thousands are attending the parade that marks its 50th anniversary this year. Even if you aren't in the sea of Puerto Rican flags in midtown, they are hard to miss wherever you go in the city. The combination of red, white and blue can be seen on car hoods, flags attached to car windows and in the hands of the young and old alike.

It is refreshing to see diversity being displayed so proudly in our city that has so many cultures. So if you are around midtown go check it out. There'll be around 100 floats to see, Ricky Martin (for those that like the pop) as the parade's first "King" and I can only imagine great food all over the place.
