I thought Passover was drunken jewish day?


Though, of course, you can't simply get drunk like the Irish and Mexican versions. You have to go through a whole mishagas. But that's jewish for ya.

In the United States, Cinco de Mayo has taken on a significance beyond that in Mexico. The date is perhaps best recognized in the United States as a date to celebrate the culture and experiences of Americans of Mexican ancestry, much as St. Patrick's Day, Oktoberfest, and the Chinese New Year are used to celebrate those of Irish, German, and Chinese ancestry respectively. Similar to those holidays, Cinco de Mayo is observed by many Americans regardless of ethnic origin.

Hey, any reason to party, right?

I used to work at the original one on Devonshire in Chatsworth. But that was like 1981/1982!

All too true!
