📣 Traveler notes
The U.S. features diverse geography, including metropolitan centers (Manhattan, Chicago), natural sites (Yellowstone, Alaska), and coastal regions (Florida, Hawaii, Pacific Northwest).
- Most non-retail businesses, post offices, and banks close on federal holidays; observance may shift to the nearest weekday if the holiday falls on a weekend.
- The period between Thanksgiving and January 1 is the 'holiday season,' which often leads to crowded travel infrastructure (airports, roads). Travelers should allow extra time.
- New Year's Day (January 1) is observed, and most non-retail businesses are typically closed.
- Respect privacy by avoiding joining occupied dining tables. Maintain low volume during conversations. When visiting a private home, bringing a small gift for the host is customary. Carrying cutlery for finger foods is generally acceptable if unsure.
About this holiday
The Puerto Rican Day Parade, held annually on 5th Avenue in New York City, honors the 3.2 million residents of Puerto Rico and all individuals of Puerto Rican descent in the U.S. mainland. Established in 1958, it is the longest-running Latino heritage parade on 5th Avenue.
