This is a bold statement. Houston is definitely diverse, but doesn't beat any of its peers "by far". In fact, I think NYC is a more international city.

Central NJ is rapidly becoming a hub for many Hispanic/Latino folks. Tons of folks from Central America and South America via El Salvador, Peru, Guatemala. Not really Mexican as much, but mostly South Americans.

Perth Amboy is a mecca in NJ. Yah gotta brush up on your Spanish in Perth Amboy, because a lot of folks don't know English there for some reason. Union City, West NY, Paterson, Elizabeth, and Passaic to name a few have a sizable demographic for Hispanics/Latinos.

If you look at a lot of the 3PL or light-industrial/light-manufacturing/warehouse storage companies in Central NJ or around the Passaic area, a large bulk of the work force is Hispanic.

Newark NJ has seen a shift in the traditionally Spanish (Spain) and Portuguese Ironbound neighborhood to one that has more Brazilians and Dominicans.

On a side note, some of those cities are good areas for parades if you can catch one. And generally, Latina women know how to party.

A Brazilian friend of mine that lives in Chicago has family in Newark and often travels there. I know from him the parades get wild.

Oh my lord do they get wild. :cheers:

DO NOT bring the girlfriend or wife to those parades, because as a man, you might become a fatality if they catch you staring, and drooling. Keep them eyes in your head, because they will pop out. :D:D:D

Anything involving Brazil winning in soccer usually results in topless folks and nice 46" rears up in the air. :boogy:

everything from the westside of elizabeth to newark is central american these days. definitely a big hub.
