Seeing these comments makes me feel so proud to be apart of a culture that inspires the world every day. #boricua #pr #wepa
Eli! Lets go to Puerto Rico!! I was born and raised en PR. I just moved to Florida, but I can be your tour guide over there ❤
Yes and we dont know what the future has planned for puerto Rico but its going to be good 🇵🇷 #vivapuertorico
I really love your videos, my dad was born in Puerto Rico, he moved to Rhode Island when he was 10. So I'm a first born American, understanding how I fit in took me awhile. Don't stop your journey
Eli!!!! Ven a disfrutar del encanto de la Isla. Aquí hay mucho por ver y sentir!!!!!!
@@michellek7074 hey
I’m Mexican-American but grew up in nyc around many boricuas. All I can say is much respect to Puerto Rico y su gente!! Love the culture, the food, the music, everything! Much love to PR ✨The video was great 👍
Que viva Puerto Rico y Mexico!
Baby Dame tacos y burritos and I'm a happy man I'm tired of our food feed me
Funny thing is....as much as people think to like and understand the Puerto Rican culture, believe me...it's nothing similar to the way culture really is in Puerto Rico. Nuyorican is something completely different, not many will understand 😒
Same I believe happens with Mexicans. Mexicans Americans will never be the same as Mexican celebrating in mother land Mexico...not many will understand
Ni modo 🤷
Shout outs to Mexico también!
@@lc2051 I 'm a SoCal/Los Angeles Chicano. Grew up in the 80's, born in '78. Always thought of Nuyoricans as the East Coast version of the Hispanic-Americans. Very similar experiences on 2 coasts. Nuyorican cultur was heavily influenced by Black-American culture and vice versa, and Chicano culture influenced by Black American culture and vice versa! Nuyoricans love your salsa, merengue, and today Regetton, ...... IDK if you all feelin the newer Corridos Tumbaos, but we love out Corridos, Cumbia, and we do love your Regetton too! Beside the boxing rivalry, its mad love!!! ((which BTW RIP Hector "Macho" Camacho ..... he made my love for boxing FUN AF as a 10-15 year old!! ))
“All of New York City is being gentrified...”
As a Brooklynite, I felt that too hard...
I hope the BX stays strong because they’re coming for them too -a guy from queens
@@kris5885 they been started with us 😳
K IDK YOU RIGHT
Word to mother bro
Hello,
I don't understand.
What's happening?
I needed this to be like a 20-30 min video...nah bruh that wasn’t enough
I agree there needs needs to be a part 2.
They should do something about the history of bilingual education in the US because that was all the Chicanos o the left coast and Nuyoricans on the right. because that’s a killer story and it is the reason why kids coming from Bangladesh or Albania get to have bilingual classes in NYS today.
Every time you come to New York my heart swells! Donde están mis Boricuas?🇵🇷😁🇵🇷
AYYYYEE 🇵🇷❤️💙 nuyoricans!!!! My people!!!
Aquí papi ! Que viva Puerto Ricoooooo puñeta !!!! 🇵🇷

I agree 100%, as a Nuyorican born and raised in the Bronx I love my Latino people. As I’ve traveled the world, the beauty is that we are more alike than we are different (family, music, culture, food, art, language, etc). Que viva la Raza Latina. 🇵🇷
I'm Dominican but I hope that Puerto Rico can get everything together, may God be on everyone's side, Amen🙏🙏🕆🕆
Dominicans and Puerto Ricans are ONE people with rest of the latinos
Dominican = haitian
@@magnumlifestyle6327 also big percentage of african mix 👍
@@magnumlifestyle6327how you leave out the African? 🤦♂️
@@michotocontusnalgasI'm half Puerto Rican and Dominican and I found out i got some native DR/Haiti which I didn't think was possible because I thought the natives were all wiped out from there but hey lol.
Fun Fact: Puerto Ricans paved the way for all other Latinos/Hispanics in NYC.
"I feel like all Dominicans and Puerto Ricans have an aunt in the Bronx" - Me
Edi L lolz we do
@@michotocontusnalgas what?
I mean statistically yes, probably. NYC by far has the biggest Dominican and Puerto Rican populations in the us
Puerto Rican pride is a beautiful thing. This legit made me cry!
Absolutely!
Yes!!😢🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷
Me too 💖
Its arrogance and Narcissim.
For doing and creating nothing.
I would say take after the Japanese and China and be humble and kind to create an empire
😆
I’m Chicano (Mexican American) I love your culture, I visited the isla de Puerto Rico for my birthday this past August. Let me say... it was a beautiful experience!! I’d love to go back there. Un gran abrazo para todos mis hermanos/hermanas de Puerto Rico, Dios le bendiga!
Yoooo 🇵🇷 ❤ 🇲🇽 ✌
Thank you my brothers, mexicans, Dominicans, we Puerto Ricans love you too.
As a Bronxite I hope we can fight back against gentrification. I love my bronx neighborhood and I want to keep it unique. Also S/O to my fellow Nuyoricans 🇵🇷
My grandfather was apart of the Young Lords! Also Casa Adela is the bomb! Where my other Nuyoricans at!! 💕💕🇵🇷
I’m dominican 🇩🇴 and I love the Puerto Rican 🇵🇷 culture because of the reggaeton and food 😋
I'm Dominican but I support my Latinos. We all 1 🙌🏽
Love from spain to PR and DR. We are all one group, HISPANIDAD!
I’m Mexican and I love the Puerto Rican people and thier spirit
Puerto Rico!!! Un abrazo fuerte de un orgulloso Mexicano!! Luv my Latino/Hispanic cousins!! ♡♡♡
This is such a beautiful historical and cultural experience of both the island and its roots in the city. It just inspires a want to study, explore and feel the vibe of the culture. Gracias, Eli for opening that gate for yourself and so many others. And, of course, to my man Christian Mártir for being so chill showing him the life of Puerto Rico and the city! Que Vivan los Puertorriqueños y Nuyoricans!🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷

Im Venezuelan but all love to my latino brothers n sisters❤️
Hey
@@keviniglesias9100 🤣🤣🤣🤣no cap
@@keviniglesias9100 - ¿Qué rayos dices? Venezuelans are actual fighters. We're not afraid to rise up and hit back. Right now, regular citizens of Venezuela are taking military training just in case the U.S. even thinks about stepping unto our land. We don't just protest, we get armed! If we're weird to you, well then it must be badass to be weirdos. ¡Estorbas! Fuckata here!
YourMajesty143 your whole country will get wiped in less than an hour if you went to war w the U.S lmfao, mamate un bicho puneta
Yes I’m first and I’m so blessed and so proud of being Puerto Rican.😁🇵🇷✊🏽
I'm Puerto Rican from new York City and it makes me so sad when we arent in history but what makes me proud to be Puerto Rican is when I see my mom get up for work with no excuses!
Robert Rios thank you !!! Exactly thank you my family is the same way !! Thank your god bless your mom 👏🏻🥰🥰🥰🇺🇸🥁💪🏼❤️ 🇵🇷
Casa Adela is 1 hr and 10 minutes away from me because I'm stuck on public transportation in the Bronx. But if I want some REAL Puertorican food.. I'll take the trip❤
Vanessa Saunders honestly we (me and my siblings ) were tough in diapers to make arroz and roast pork with Mac salad 🥗 etc ... sooooo yeah we didn’t get to eat out as much Hahahahaha .
Girl me too. Train ride will be worth it tho lol.
I’m Mexican but I feel connected to Puerto Ricans ❤️ my boyfriend is Puerto Rican and I love their food SO MUCH. I just love the culture 🥰 and hope to one day visit la isla 🌴
You should go!! It is very beautiful. I left my heart there. 🇵🇷💖💖 WEPAAAA
Newyoricans ARE a sub-culture, a proud and beautiful one. Thanks for keeping our culture alive when you guys are so far from home. We love you diaspora!!!
I'm a Puerto Rican and I feel proud to say that when my country's people unite great things can happen. 🇵🇷❤🇵🇷❤🇵🇷❤
Love this!!! Thank you for this homage! Puerto Rican pride and passion forever! Para el mundo! 😌💚🌎 🇵🇷🎵🎶
Being Indigenous/"Native American" & other Indigenous Peoples of The Islands, Central & South American, we ALL have so much rich history with the land & that is what Colonizers don't understand. These areas are our Ancestoral Homelands - We will ALWAYS be a part of it & it apart of Us!! We don't know borders. That's what they don't understand!!! They made those borders. They enforce their beliefs into Us! And we're ALL tired of it!!!!
Speak on it!!
Pat Jones prepare for war !!!!
It is one thing to be proud of Indigenous heritage. It is another thing to speak on boarders and history. Even Indigenous people understood boarders and warred with other tribes.
@@thetimeliver6788 Funny because the true indigenous peoples (who genetically have little Spanish influence and still retain the languages and culture) don’t have much resentment against the Spanish. They tend to just be focused on their own communities.
And whether they are Quechua people in Peru or Embera people in Panama or Mayans in Mexico, they will tell you that they see the Spanish-speaking, mixed race majority as different. They don’t view us as indigenous because to them the concept “indigenous” doesn’t exist. To a Mixtec woman in Oaxaca, she is Mixtec first and foremost, before being Mexican. “indigenous” identity is made up because real indigenous people don’t see themselves as the same. The only thing that unifies them is colonization and the need for resistance. Not a real cultural identity
I’m so proud to be Puerto Rican!! This was the first summer I wasn’t able to go to PR!! #NuyoricanProud
The "we have to continuously make culture" comment could not be more true .We all play a role in keeping it alive and adding to our history. I loved this video ,please make it a series !
Eli! El barrio is historically a Puerto Rican enclave but it’s primarily Mexican now! The south Bronx is where 45% of the Boricuas live and where our culture is growing and developing!
I am an Afro Nuyorican born in New York City and lived in 'El Barrio' for a short time. I am proud to be a Nuyorican currently living in Washington, D.C. I miss the good Puerto Rican food in New York City. Here in Washington, DC, we have mostly Salvadorans. El Salvador culture and food is totally different from Puerto Rico. Soy Boricua all day and everyday.😀 😃 😄 😁
I'm a florican, (Puerto Rican from Florida) and I have always wanted to go to new York city!! My parents are from the bronx and Rochester, but I've never been! 🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷
Ny is way better than Florida
I deeply feel this as a Trintonian 🇹🇹🇨🇦 (Toronto-Trinidadian)! No matter where Caribbean people go we always create something and expand our culture 🙌🏿
GLAD U TOUCHED ON NYCS GENTRIFICATION PROBLEM
Dude! Go to Puerto Rico already! Spend a month or two.
So true! Jajajaaa
I have no money bro, I'm so poor i make a mugger cry, from the South Bronx, Nuyorican til death.
Besitos a todos mis hermanos y hermanas caribeños 💋🇩🇴 🇨🇺 🇵🇷 💋!!!
Thank you for sharing this. I had begun drifting from my Nuyorican identity living on the West coast for so long. Watching this made me long for the Brooklyn of my youth. Going to Red Hook during the summers to watch baseball games, to eat from the vendors and listen to all the Salsa music. It makes me long for my mother and grandmother. Such bittersweet memories.
Need a part two. It gets deeper, there’s too much more. I know this, and I’m not even Puerto Rican. There’s the music and it’s subgenres, there’s people from different parts of PR and how they interact with each other, there’s people who can’t speak English or those who can’t speak Spanish, the activities they do, their parades, their regular lives, how they feel about politics, how they see their identity, how they think their community can improve, what they see coming in the future...
Man, I love being Puerto Rican ❤️🇵🇷
Once at work they asked us for Thanksgiving to share what we were thankful for and I said, "I'm thankful that God made me Puerto Rican."
Prcan pride 💪
I love sofrito
Orgulla puertorriquena🇵🇷
RoryMaria Same Gurl saaaame
I am nuyorican and I really loved this video. Made me have goosebumps and tear up at how proud I am of my people/community and our culture. Que viva Puerto Rico!! 💙
N. Lopez Sadly Boricuas in the mainland don’t believe Nuyoricans are Boricuas. Sad but the truth
Newyoricas are way to liberals and a lot of you are mix with other race such dominicans or Blacks Americans you don't represent us 100%...
@@ninjalobsterpr1292 True. It's sad. Luckily I was raised by a strong, opinionated family that taught me not to care what others have to say and to be sure of myself. I try not to take it personal even when they laugh at my accent when I speak spanish because it's my culture (both my parents were born and raised there) and most of the ppl that say that don't even know their own history.
@@guasaguasa8809 Just because we are liberal...it doesn't make us any less Puerto Rican. There's not a specific mold of what a Puerto Rican should be or look like. Even in the island, there are conservative Puerto Ricans and liberal Puerto Ricans.
I am personally not mixed with any other nationality or ethnicity....my parents and their families are all Puerto Rican from all the generations they can remember. But, from what I've seen Nuyoricans who are mixed are not claiming to be 100% Puerto Rican....they are just repping part of their culture. They have a right to do so and should feel pride without someone judging them or taking that pride away from them. It's actually funny because the same ppl who judge and believe Nuyoricans are not Boricua/Puerto Rican are quick to claim famous Nuyoricans or mixed Puerto Ricans as their own. They are also quick to claim famous Puerto Ricans who were not born or raised in the island as one of their own. For example, Marc Anthony....everyone loves Marc Anthony and praises him, but he is Nuyorican. It's a double standard. Since he is famous, no one says anything. Ozuna is another example of this double standard. He doesn't talk much about his personal life, but from my understanding, he is part Dominican or his parents are both Dominican but he was born in Puerto Rico. It's sad people try to create division especially considering there are more Puerto Ricans who live in the U.S. than in the mainland. It is what it is and I hope it gets better. We all have different experiences, but we love Puerto Rico and feel pride for our flag, people, and island.
Born in 🇵🇷 and raised in New york. I consider my self a Newyorkricandominican!! 🇵🇷 🇩🇴😃
🇩🇴💩
I remember playing dominos outside of my abuelas building in Williamsburg in Brooklyn. Something we've done since being kids and recently these ppl were walking by and taking pics so amazed. Honestly it was a bit uncomfortable, and my grandma was about to flip confused why strangers were taking pictures of us playing. Times have changed. Puerto Rican born in Brooklyn, raised in the bronx. I am proud of my culture and traditions and of course the food that comes with it
❤❤❤🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷
I found out I was half Puerto Rican 2 years ago from my mom. I have no connection to my father and honestly do not care to know him. But I do want to be able to speak up for the boricuas and be more in tune with the culture. Since I’m such a proud Mexican. If anybody would give me idk tips lmao I don’t know where to start my search
If you can go to Puerto Rico
Read about P.R. (Newspapers, Radio stations) Now in days it’s a lot easier to get in touch with the world. But mainly come to P.R. Visit the whole island. You have a friend here in P.R. May God bless you.
♥️🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷
WHERE MY BORICUAS AT?
I genuinely teared up when she said "I'm so proud." Me too. ❤ holding it down in a town with barely any Boricuas, but we doing the damn thing.
the_andi _dote Esta raza siempre es brava!
Yasss! Keep holding it down. We see you!
I really LOVE seeing these videos. I, being a Puerto Rican who was born in the states (FL) - admire our culture sooo much. I’m so proud of our people! And I rep our lil island everywhere and anywhere I can. I pray one day I’ll have the privilege to finally set foot on our isla for the first time ever ❤️ & though I’m not from there.. seeing this and other videos of PR make me so emotional.. I have such a profound love for PR mannnnn!!!!!!! q viva Puerto Rico, puñetaaaaa 🇵🇷
We have suffered a lot in PR. I think that lots of people who say that have puertorican roots, don’t even know how a puertorican living in the island is. So much has changed. That’s why you need to come to Puerto Rico and experiment what I’m saying yourself! We have paradise and so much more.
Los puertorriqueños somos otra cosa!!!
All this Love for PR in the comments making cry and soo proud to be Puerto Rican 🇵🇷♥️
We also need to recognize that everything comes from African culture. That culture, that spirit transcend's through us all! 🙌🏽
Well culturally we won't ever know how everyone was first originally because it's still all the white man history... If all the countries was 1 at a point. Doesnt that mean it wasn't Africa only on the map. Being 🇵🇷 means more for us in 2019 and its ok.
I _knew_ this comment was in here somewhere. I thought for sure there would be a TON of comments like this.
Robert Rios Being Boricua wouldn’t be the same without the African influence. 🇵🇷💖✊🏽
Roberto Clemente 👑💞💐✊🏾 🇵🇷
I was lucky to participate in the protest! My family and I were on vacation when it started and I jumped on the opportunity-to show my daughters how we do it! We would go to the beach go shower out for dinner n then time to protest! Lol the unity we felt made us even more proud! I love my people n they love us back! They way they embraced us knowing we lived in the states n we were there with them was way better then anything else! God bless mi isla y mi gente! 🇵🇷
This made me smile and feel so proud. Watching this all the way from motherland🇵🇷🇵🇷💕
Might be cuz I'm 🇵🇷 but keep this going. Learned some stuff and now I need to eat.
PERO LIKE WE NEED MORE GHOST ADVENTURES 😂😂😂😂😂😂🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
@Go Guerilla Foto how check out their videos they did like 3 videos stop playing with me 😂
@Go Guerilla Foto oh idk I just thought I mention it since it does belong to pero like...not everything needs to pertain to this video but if some how it pertains to the company or business I think I could mention it🤷🏼♀️
I want to watch but I scare that will be scary, is that scare?
@@zuko803 I just laugh everytime something happens
I’m Cuban but i love my Puerto Rican brothers and sisters. Wepaaaaa🇨🇺🇵🇷
El futuro de nuestra isla será lo que siempre fue. Una isla llena de amor, orgullo, historia y cultural lista para lo que venga con quien venga y para donde valla. Estos últimos meses nuestra isla a visto y a entendido de que estamos hechos y lo que hemos dejado en el mundo y lo que falta y estamos orgullosos de todos los puertorriqueños donde quiera que esten. Se me hincha el pecho pensando en nuestros hermanos que están en otras partes y como conectamos con ellos y más como también está experiencia nos ha llevado a conectar con otros latinos y también ser inspirados por su corazones y su historia. Orgullosa de mi isla 🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷
I'm Nuyorican! Born in Staten Island and from Puerto Rico. I also went to Puerto Rican parades every year in New York. I met Jennifer Lopez! 😝😍
What part of Staten Island? I lived in park hill
A good spot opened by the wonderful Puerto Rican people is a spot called nuyorican poets Cafe on 236 E 3rd Street. It's on L.E.S and it's a place where talented people gather no matter what race you are black, brown, white to show case their art in poetry, stand up comedy and other type of performing arts. I use to go to their poetry slam events, very cool.
Explore the Cuban culture in Union City, it's nicknamed Havana on the Hudson. Or the Chinese-Cuban restaurant La Caridad 78 on the Upper West Side. There's a chef that looks Chinese but has a Cuban accent. I love it.
Union City is in New Jersey, but yes it's nice there as well.
Johnny Garcia I know it’s in NJ, just suggesting that place
Yes, plus West New York, NJ!
I heard La Caridad 78 isn’t that good, unfortunately
But nobody in Pero Like is of Cuban descent and these videos are usually made because of heritage.
Wow I from 112 and first in el barrio originally born in the Bronx, left Ny live in Miami but I will never forget my roots🇵🇷🇺🇸👊🏽
as a new yorker( and fellow spanish caribbean) nuyorican culture and dominican culture is just really fun and loud
Dominican suck
i went to el museo del barrio on a field trip this year with my spanish class!! i loved it , whoever hasn't gone needs to pull up because it's beautiful.
Loved it! 💜💜💜
Since Claudia is Colombian it's only right she visits Jackson heights
I feel so proud of bean Puerto Rican, I was born in Ohio and I love that country. But I live and was raised in the island of Puerto Rico and I will not change my little island for any place in the world!
If you don't know much of our culture I invite you to learn about us, it's a beautiful culture and we accept as family any person who loves and respect our island and our history.
Love you all desde la isla del encanto 🥰💙🇵🇷
From start to finish I kept getting chills.....and seeing Eli learn more about who he is is amazing
Muchas gracias for the video. As a mid 40’s Neyorican born and raised in the Bronx this video made my heart smile. I remember Spanish Harlem at its most vibrant times (70’s -80’s). All of NYC is getting gentrified claim your stale and history. Mi gente, we need to continue to teach our rich history, music, culture, food, art, language, etc forward to the next generations. What doesn’t get passed down gets lost. Que viva la raza Latina.
This is a powerful video. Thank you Elí for researching and taking time to compose this video. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
I am all ways learning & using Spanish
My identity 🇵🇷
Mi cultura❤
daily 😃 20 years in a row 🇵🇷 💕
1:25 “I am a professional Puertorican”
WE WERE EATING ORGANIC BEFORE ORGANIC BECAME A THING! 100% FACCCTTTSSSSSSSSS
Yessss Casa Adela! My whole L.E.S childhood right there. Thanks for showing them some love
Casa Adela is the best. I flew all the way from LA to NYC for a nice summer trip last year and boy oh boy do I miss this restaurant. I hope they expand to LA one day!!!!
So weird seeing people visit my neighborhood. Spanish Harlem has a lot of history and culture, I love when other people get a taste of it it and can see it for all is has to offer.
I’m Puerto Rican and Proud! Que viva la raza Boriqua🇵🇷 bella mi isla ❤️
La raza?
I appreciate this series Eli thank you🙏🇵🇷
Eli, you did mention you were half mexican but I never seen you get involved in that culture?
Yes. I wish he would do more of what its like to be both not just choose a side
I nearly fell out of my chair when I heard... "Professional Puerto Rican". I love the way how individuals give themselves fake titles and fake doctrate degrees.
Thats what i said...... smh
Lmaoooo professional puertorrican wtf
There is nothing fake or artificial in his statement. He's saying, in a playful way, that any Puerto Rican will understand, that he is a militant promoter of Puerto Rican culture. You just don't understand Puerto Rican pride, and how we communicate with each other.
@@tespismorelos9666 I respect your opinion… but Pride is one thing and proclaiming oneself as a Professional Puerto Rican is two different things. One can say… “Soy Boricua De Corazón!” But “Professional” I think not.
Nice video! Back in the day Adela Fargas (RIP) could be seen at her humble restaurant peeking hundreds of garlic cloves while listening to the telenovela playing on the TV - great memories and her spot “Casa Adela” in the Lower East Side of Manhattan is still going strong. The “Losaida Festival” that takes place near there every summer is a wonderful Puerto Rican day of pride! Lots of drummers show up in front of her restaurant on that day to jam with others who bring guiros and cowbells. If you have the chance, check it out in person! 🇵🇷
Come to PR. connect with the main land and experience it by yourself, dont live trough other people's experiences
This is the best comment out of all!!! Thank you for keeping it short, simple, and to the point.
Puerto Ricans migrate to these Areas as well...
This is such a weird feeling! I know all the places he was walking around, it is my home and I have memories there and one of the newyoricans he interviewed is my great aunt titi maritza. I've never felt so close to a youtube video, this video feels personalized
Gracias ! This is the content we all needed!!!! 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
Nuyorican grew up in the South Bronx 139th st and Brook ave. now retired Army disabled veteran I love NYC.
I’d love to spend a month or so exploring New York City as a vacation. I wish I made enough to live there because it’s so expensive.
I love my Puerto Rican people,food,culture,flag, music, island!!!
I really enjoyed this video. Next stop: Chicago. I am curious about the Chi-Rican culture over there.
Linda Manuel it’s huge
Me too. If I'm not mistaken I think Eli is from the Chicago area originally.
@@jeffpro8 I think so too.
Should go to Humboldt park
Fantastic memories! My great Uncle lived across the street from "la marqueta" and that's where my dad bought his favorite verduras 😄. Yautia, Yucca, malanga and if course the fresh ingredients to make the best sofrito. Never been more proud to be NewyorRican 💖❤
Pretty awesome video! Great job. Man I loved it the more I think about it ! And worry Eli your identity comes from within ! As long as you are happy and proud of who you are and where you come from that’s all that matters. Never seek anyone else’s approval ! Your approval comes from your pride ! And it’s like what the young lady said, I to felt when people would be like oh you’re NewYorkRican they were trying to take my Ricanness from me ! But we are to a culture and carry the same legacy and traditions as the Ricans from the island ! And at times it feels like we even have more pride of being Puerto Rican’s. But at the end of it all we are all the same and come from our ancestors. With peace and love we can make the world better one day at a time.
It’s so funny this is what i tell people I’m a nuyorican🤷🏻♀️❤️ This video made me so proud of my home and where i grew up. Seeing familiar places made me happy and upset seeing i just moved away and I’m missing the food lmfao 🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷💕
New York was the perfect place for you to go as an American Puerto Rican! :)
I grew up in El Barrio, and mi Abuela still lives there, it is truly not the same as when I was growing up and that makes me sad. When I go to visit it doesn’t feel like home anymore, gentrification has taken so much from the feel of the area. I remember the sound of salsa coming from almost everyone of the windows as I walked to the park con mis primos the smells of Puerto Rican food the sounds of the bell as the guy called out coco cherry mango rainbow, we would all beg our parents for piraguas and coquitos, playing in the water from the fire hydrants rolling our eyes as we were forced to stop as our parents or abuela would stop para chismes. Oye tú sabes i knew you when you were this big, or un cállate o te calló, let me finish talk nos vamos when I’m ready to go lol but now, now it’s just not the same the music is in phones on earbuds, the kids are inside on electronics, the smells are of fast food the coquito carts are few...
I’m proud to be Boricua Wepa 🇵🇷💯
💙💙💙💙🙏🤲🙏 I love and I'm so proud to be Puerto Rican. I'm a new Yorker Rican
When they started eating, it reminded me of getting food at those Dominican restaurants in Queens 🤤
Casa Adela isn't the only Puerto Rican restaurant in NYC. Adela passed away a few yrs. ago & the business is on the way out.
Yes this has inspired me to explore my culture I am from Ghana and I have never been close to America one day I would love to go when I get over my fear of flying 😂❤️
“Dammmmn....I didn’t think about thatttt....” 😂
Such a great video!
Love my Puerto Rican’s so much ❤️
lulz also this isn't Nuyorican culture. Has anyone noticed pero like literally has people completely out of touch with their culture do these videos. The reality is that it's veiling class based tendencies. Middle class Latinos raise their kids without the culture and then their kids come back for the culture, the only problem is in their process of "discovering" the culture they are recolonizing it by having agency on how we consume the medium. Pero Like should do a better job getting people who are actually representative of the culture leading these segments.
There are lots of reasons why people don't grow up in communities with their culture or a big family and influences to lean on/look to. Assimilation can definitely be one but don't put that on him, he didn't ask to be here or grow up the way he did. People connect to this rediscovery journey too. I'm deep diving into mine and I grew up with a HUGE family close by in a West Indian community in BK, you'll never know everything about yourself or your people. Let him do that.
@@theechubbyone no problem with him learning the culture. A problem with non-cultured Latinos leading the way. Our culture needs to be preserved by people in it and those who don't have the culture should know when to stay their lane.
If he’s proud of his roots and is actively representing his country and shedding a positive light on his people- I don’t see why this is a problem for you. They seemed very informed. Also, this wasn’t exclusively about representing Puerto Rico and it’s culture but rather about sharing their experience as a “Nuyorican” and what that embodies for them. As a born and raised New Yorker from el barrio this was most definitely representative of the essence of Puerto Rican life in NYC. Albeit it was rather short but still an accurate glimpse. There’s no better representative to speak on a culture than people who were born and or raised here and completely immersed in it. Seemed to me like that was the case.
@@blue9280 I'm a "Nuyorican" too, and while the people who grew up in the culture were definitely speaking on it, the question becomes who actually has agency here? Pero like has been producing a lot of "find your culture" content, but it's often an abridged and waterdown version of the culture. Pero Like needs more people immersed in the culture in their ranks, otherwise what they're really curating is content for people who are ignorant to the culture, which tend to be people with no ties to the Latino identity whatsoever. Being Puerto Rican is more than eating tostones and hanging out in Spanish Harlem. Shamelessly connecting the issues in the island to this to garner views is also concerning. Remember when they commodify our culture, they're not going to do it outright, they're going to have someone within our ranks sell it to us. That's what's happening here.
@@rayarroyo7Just because Eli doesn't speak Spanish doesn't make him no less Puerto Rican and no less connected to his culture then a Puerto Rican who does speak Spanish. Since when did you become the spokesman for Puerto Ricans?
