Does NYC have that many Mexicans? I mean, I lived in TX for 8yrs, so "alot" of Mexicans is relative I guess. But I'm a MILLION percent sure that the state of Florida has more Mexicans than NY, and I read an article about ALOT of wealthy Mexicans moving to Miami in order to escape the violent drug cartels in Mexico, and how Miami is becoming a NEW haven for Mexicans. There are areas of Dade County that are known, small blue collar Mexican enclaves, like Sweetwater FL.

i guess you never been to nyc , nyc is filled with mexicans , you can find mexicans living in huge numbers in nearly all of areas in nyc , i think the only areas you wont find Mexicans are the suburban type areas like canarsie , Georgetown , mill basin , riverdale(bronx) , southern queens etc.

after dominicans and puerto ricans mexicans are the third largest hispanic group in nyc and growing.

i had to go with miami. while nyc has a huge caribbean scene, it has every other scene as well. miami is almost exclusively caribbean and the tropical weather gives it the authentic feel. that gives it the edge.

although.... new jersey does have wyclef
