New York.- The Dominican Day parade in New York will start at the foot of Main Street near
Emeline Park in Haverstraw at noon, then turn onto Broadway to Division
Street to the Middle School Field where the festivities continue.
According to the organizers, there
will be a concert, food, amusements for children and much more to
commemorate the independence of the Dominican Republic.
New York is home to more than 400,000 Dominican immigrants, many of
whom have settled in Washington Heights/Inwood, Corona, Cypress Hill
and other parts of the City.

If you read the first lines carefully, you will see that the parade that they´re referring to is in Havarstraw and not NYC. Haverstraw is approximately 40 minutes from NYC. Dominicans have parades in the Bronx, Manhattan, and other cities around the tri-state area

I love the Dominican Parade in NYC! It was soooo much fun, I remember like today my first Dominican Parade. It was my mother and sister and I was so excited, i was about 14 years old. I would always go to the PR parade and be around Puerto Ricans and I felt like I was from Mars because I never saw anything about my country lol. When I went for the first time the emotion was over bearing.

The parade was in Brooklyn,

I am beginning to think that we just like to imitate the Puerto Ricans; fact is we are soon becoming same as them. What with all of the crime, drugs, welfare fraud, etc.? The only thing we lack is that automatic US citizenship at birth. I don't think this is all for the better.
By the way, almost a third of my relatives are Ricans.
I happen to be caught in the parade in Corona Queens while visiting relatives. It really wasn't pretty at all....many rowdy drunks and many women dressed and behaving like "chopas". A lot of "in your face attitude"...we are celebrating I don't know what, and it is too bad for you. Not a very civilized situation at all, or anything to feel a bit proud of.
Ever wonder how come Chinese, German, English, French, Italians don't demand same? They don't need to. They speak with their scholastic and business world accomplishments, not meaningless and useless parades. Perhaps we should emulate them.

I dont think we are imitating anyone. I just think we are out enjoying our music, our food, a few drinks, and just the fact that we are proud of coming from a small island nation in the Caribbean called Dominican Republic. Yes I do agree we should get more active in politics and demand certain things such as better schools in our communities, less fast foods and healthier options to reduce obeasity in our communities, more affordable housing and programs for our youths. In that you are totally right, Dominicans in the States need to get involved!
