I always knew that Puerto Ricans were strongly concentrated there (not only are Mexican restaurants scarce, but even chips & salsa undersell there), but I wasn’t expecting mighty NYC (that endlessly self-congratulatory Capital of the Universe!!!) to have a Mexican population smaller than… a tract of unassuming ranch houses in hopelessly bland Orange County.
