Then you probably didn't go to Kissimmee, which is pretty much all Puerto Ricans from the Boroughs. It's probably the second biggest PR concentration in the U.S. these days, after the Bronx.
Orlando, while not as "New Yorky" as South Florida, has a huge population with NY-area connections. Its demographic mix is very roughly the same, with blacks of West Indian descent, Puerto Ricans and South Americans and white ethnics from the "three Is" (Ireland, Italy and "Israel").
