MANY CULTURES MEET IN NY

There are 8,552,306 people living in New York. 26% are black, 22% are Hispanic and 7% are Asian.As you can see, there are many people from different countries there. The result is that everyone gets to see different cultures and get a taste of theri food...
...Since New York is made up of all kinds of people, besides different types of food, every year there are many different parades. There are pareades from many different nationalities such as Chinese, Englis, Spanish and Polish. At these parades, you can see the country's culture, dance, music and so much more.
my favorite parade is the Easter Parade. In this parade there are a lot of colorful costumes _ especially the hats. The hats are big and have clolorful flowers on them. There are colorful floats covered with flowers. When you look at these flowers you can see a picture. Yhe parade looks like a village from a cartoon.
