And the fastest growing community in New York is the Mexican one, according to a study published in 2003 by the Teachers College, at Columbia University:

The very Mexican neighbourhood are East Harlem, north of Manhattan, and firstly Sunset Park, South of Brooklyn.
I headed to Sunset Park, as I mentioned earlier, partly because of the book by Paul Auster I loved to much.
Two avenues away, this neighbourhood is very much becoming Chinese, but along Sunset Park and Sunset Terrace, New York is definitely Mexican.
This is where Mexican join each other in a more peaceful part of New York, building up their solidarity if not social and financial success, as this community remains far from thrilling employment and high education.
Lots of White Anglo-Saxon Protestants New Yorkers are still trying to ignore the growing Spanish-speaking community. They should probably catch up with this bit of reality in the neighbourhood...

Lovely Sunset Park

Spanish-speaking Brooklyn
A changing hood
Facing the heartbeat of New York
The Park overlooks the dream's symbols: The East River and the Statue of Liberty

Colours of the Mexican flag...
