New York preschoolers take part this month in a Three Kings Day parade marking the most festive day of the Christmas season in Latin American culture
About forty-four percent of all New Yorkers are white. A little over one-fourth are African-American. About one-fourth are Hispanic or Latino. Nearly twelve percent have Asian ancestors.
One thing that all New Yorkers have in common is the density of their city. Millions of people live in a small place. New York City has five boroughs. They are the Bronx, Brooklyn, Staten Island, Queens, and Manhattan.
The island of Manhattan has almost twenty-six thousand people per square kilometer of land. The streets of Manhattan are very crowded because so many people live and work in there. Most people travel in buses, taxi cabs, or underground in the subway instead of owning cars. Most live in tall apartment buildings. Manhattan is home to some of the wealthiest as well as the poorest people in the city.
Cake
DOUG JOHNSON: The California-based band Cake released “Showroom of Compassion” last week. It is the band’s first album in seven years. Many fans were expecting greatness. Some are satisfied, others are not.
Mario Ritter has more on Cake and plays songs from the new album.
MARIO RITTER: Cake has been together since the early nineteen nineties. The band has released six studio albums including “Showroom of Compassion.” However, band leader John McCrea told Rolling Stone magazine that he thinks about breaking up with the band every day. He says he likes making music. But he says concerts and selling tee-shirts is the only way to make money in the business. McCrea says that means a lot of airplane travel and pollution. He says he would like a career that is less damaging to the environment.
