I don’t know how many of my followers this will apply to, but statistically speaking at least one of you lovely nerds will be in NYC for Pride tomorrow. If you’ve never done NYC Pride before, please remember:
1) It will be HOT. It’s supposed to be in the thigh 80s tomorrow. Bring lots of water and don’t forget sunscreen. Last year I remember seeing stands set up where people could refill their water bottles, so keep your eyes peeled.
2) It’ll be crowded. It’s impossible to avoid them. Don’t feel bad if you need to wander away from the festivities to take a breather
3) Be safe! People are bound to be drinking and getting rowdy, and while in my experience I’ve never seen anything bad happen, that doesn’t mean nothing bad could happen. Be aware of your surroundings, and don’t put yourself into situations you aren’t comfortable with!
And pro tip - the prarade isn’t as great as people make it out to be. If you don’t want to watch, instead try going to the Pride Fest, which is a street fair with loads of vendors giving away free things to celebrate!
