Somewhere in my 30's (a LONG time ago) I gave up on parades. I USED to merely avoid them. Now I hardly know they exist.
GIANT who cares?
This has always been a Catholic parade that’s why people care. Personally, I have never been a fan of any parade. And since this is the biggest that NYC puts on, it overwhelms the city and sends tourists all over the city until I can’t breathe. Many NYers hates it.
