PanethosTwo of the wonderful worlds of Detroit
The City of Detroit is home to a wonderful diversity of ethnic communities, each with their own cultural flavor and vibe. This post is dedicated to just two of them that were explored over the Cinco de Mayo weekend.

Saturday evening included tasting sweet Dubai cakes being sold at a small street bazaar taking place beneath the statue of Pope John Paul II. The Pope had visited the city back in 1969. This event was followed by a delightful dinner of traditional Yemini food at Rema’s Yemeni Restaurant.

The 60th Annual Cinco de Mayo Parade was filled with participants ranging from bands, to dancers, to kids, to politicians, to revved up cars and off-road vehicles. Everyone in attendance thoroughly enjoyed the parade, despite the wet weather.
The parade was followed by a “muy delicioso” lunch at the jam-packed Taqueria Mi Pueblo Ristorante.

In the Muslim Nizamuddin West quarter of Delhi, on the way to the Nizamuddin Dargah shrine, the streets are lined with stalls selling Islamic devotional items, some of which are brought to the shrine (of the Sufi saint Hazrat Khwaja Syed Nizamuddin Auliya) as donations. Apparently, religion here means first and foremost: business.
