Now a yearly tradition

Mondayborday was labor day, and if you've been reading this blog and the Fanciest American before it, you should know that means I attended the West Indian Cultural Festival. Boasting an attendance figure from last year of 3.5 million - making it the largest parade in New York - this event has come to be my favorite single event here. The colorful costumes, the music, the food, and the overwhelming sense of fun combine for a really great day. Unfortunately, I've been very sick since saturday (which I will write about later) so I could only stay for about half an hour, but I got some photos and got to see some good stuff.
