Now parades, I don't miss. Especially the Puerto Rican Day Parade. I have nothing against Puerto Ricans. They're a friendly, warm, fun loving bunch that like to squeeze you to death and yep, I like hugs. But...! any parade that shuts down the whole city so you can't maneuver anywhere is a pain in the butt.

Plus, that parade always coincides with my company's annual finance meeting (which means we all have to put in a day's work at the office) and yep, we all wind up getting stuck somewhere in the city due to the parade.

Mayor Bill de Blasio joined a small group of Irish-Americans to celebrate their pride in a very minimal way today, with a scaled-down Saint Patrick’s Day parade in the early hours of the morning.

What You Need To Know:

The COVID-19 pandemic is impacting New York city street festivals again this year
The City won't allow any full-scale parades until at least the Fall
This will impact the way mayoral candidates campaign this year
Once the pandemic is over, the City will organize a parade honoring healthcare workers and first responders

Why bring them back at all? Protesters are doing a fine job of replacing (and exceeding) the OT for cops anyway!

Response: Opinion

With only a few months left in this politician's miserable career the only
thing many care about is the counting down of his remaining days in office.
