11 Aug 2008My ‘hood was jumping yesterday with Dominican flags waving off the backs of men and women and, flags hung outside car windows, people playing guiros and merengue from open windows and the doors of bodegas. More than just an ordinary domingo in the ‘hood they were celebrating Dominican pride and yesterday was the Dominican Day parade in New York City.

Just because I’m Puerto Rican doesn’t mean I don’t like some Dominican flavor (forget the rumors of Ricans vs. Dominicans). I know from experience that one of the hottest Dominican Independence Day celebrations outside D.R. is in NYC, more specifically in S.O.B’s. This February 27 promises to be no different with a concert featuring merenguero Shino Aguakate, Frandy Sax and DJ Lobo. And where there’s good Dominican music there’s got to be good Dominican food. S.O.B’s is serving a full Dominican menu, completito con kipes, chicharron de pollo y pasteles de platanos (damn save me a plate!)This is the only celebration in NYC on February 27th, the actual date of Dominican Independence.
Ticket Info: First 100 Ladies free, $10 Ladies/ $12 Gentlemen; Available on Ticketmaster and the S.O.B.’s Box Office, 212-243-4940. Doors open 7pm.
Special Thanks to Alex Damashek at S.O.B’s for providing pics and info. Now someone quick : offer to watch my kids so I can go!

The tourists snapping pics of the red, white, and blue lit Empire State Building in New York City this weekend probably thought the color scheme had to do with good ole’ patriotism towards the USA. Well they were half right. The Empire State Building was lit this past weekend, February 24 through 26, in red, white and blue but to celebrate Dominican Independence Day and Dominican Heritage Month. The lights of the Empire State Building can
be seen from as far away as 80 miles. The lighting of the Dominican colors was made possible thanks to the support of the Empire State Building Co. LLC and the office of New York State Assemblyman Adriano
Espaillat. Felicidades Dominicanos!
