I definitely will be planning an NYC trip to go partake in the festivities and see the colors and costumes. However, my prudish Puritan American-ness balks at the lewd display of women on display.
Definitely one of the craziest days in Brooklyn each summer. The parade is huge and one of the city's most colorful for spectators. The costumes are great as everyone seems to keep one upping each other. Runs right past the Brooklyn Museum and Prospect Park.
