Some Cinco De Mayo Celebrations Soldiering On

A jaunt to Cancun may be out of the question and weekend celebrations from Queens to Cali have sadly been canceled due to swine flu fears, but there's gotta be somewhere left to celebrate Cinco de Mayo, right? Worry not, my amigos. There are still a few great places to put on your ridiculously large sombreros, down a few buckets of Coronas and celebrate Mexican culture…er, we'll leave it at down a few buckets of Coronas.

In New York City, far-West Side club Hudson Terrace opens its giant new rooftop space just in time to throw a Cinco de Mayo party at one of the city's most impressive outdoor drinking spots. If only the weather clears up in time to shake maracas without an umbrella.

For a slightly more grown-up Cinco de Mayo, Chicago's Nacional 27 is hosting a swanky Tuesday night affair, where $27 gets you free food and all the margaritas you can stomach, which is hopefully more than $27-worth.

Down in the homeland, in Puebla, Mexico where the whole shindig started, it's being reported that while the gringos have fled town, remaining Mexican tourists aren't holding back and the partying is going on as planned. We'll raise our glasses and toast an "Ole" to that!
