Sunday, August 10^th, marks the 43^rd annual Dominican Day Parade in NYC, a vibrant celebration of all that is Dominican, featuring live music, dancers, and colorful floats in Midtown Manhattan.
This is a perfect time to immerse yourself in the traditions, the culture, and the Dominican food. It’s also ideal to plan a visit, or better yet a Staycation, at Washington Heights jewel, Radio Hotel.

‘The Heights,’ is home to one of the largest Dominican communities in the U.S., and this the neighborhood’s first boutique hotel. Radio Hotel is offering a Dominican Day Parade Package during August. Guests will receive two native beers and a Dominican flag at check-in and can unwind at the outdoor courtyard, El Patio, before heading downtown to the festivities.

Authentic Dominican neighborhood highlights include:

On-site: El Patio, Radio Hotel’s on-site outdoor space, serving Dominican classics and modern dishes.

Local Favorite: Malecon, a local favorite with a robust menu of traditional staples.

For Something Sweet: El Manantial Bakery, known for its guava-and-cheese pastries and sweet Dominican treat.

After the crowds and chaos of the midtown Parade, why not escape to your stylish uptown oasis?
Radio Hotel is your perfect uptown retreat. The property offers spacious rooms, and an on-site Dominican restaurant, Jalao NYC.
