Eye Heart SF San Fran Cinco Block Party
May 1, 2013 —
It’s time to dust off that fake mustache and cheesy sombrero in the back of your closet. Grab the somewhat old – but perfectly drinkable – tequila from the depths of your freezer. Snag that Mexican-style blanket on the couch, too. Why, you ask? It’s Cinco de Mayo, hombre!
Whether in San Francisco or New York City, you’re most likely within walking distance of the nearest Cinco de Mayo party. Once you reach your destination de choice, you’d be remiss not to order the finest gigantic – er, grande – margarita to share with your three or four closest amigos and amigas.
After uno or dos post-margarita Dos Equis bottles, you might feel like the world’s most interesting man or woman, or at least the most appealing person at the bar. Thus, you’ll have had enough liquid courage to mingle with the sexiest señorita or most macho tio who catches your eye.
There are a plethora of muy awesome Cinco de Mayo fiestas across el mundo. Whether you speak English, Spanish, or both, you’re missing out by sitting on your sofa and watching the ¡Three Amigos!. As great as the combination of Steve Martin, Chevy Chase, and Martin Short is, there is an even better, Corona-filled celebration of Mexican-American culture around the corner!
