I was aware that a lot of Puerto Ricans (not just from NY, also from PR itself) had moved to the Lehigh Valley over the past decade or two, but wasn't aware of the Poconos being a magnet as well.
The reverse migration of Nuyoricans to the Island is quite different from that of Dominicans, since most Nuyoricans who move to PR don't do it to retire, they move to PR to work under less stressful conditions and nicer weather.
My secretary, pardon, administrative assistant, is Nuyorican, and boy is she pushy.
I got a joke about Puerto Ricans/Nuyoricans in Pennsylvania.
I was at nearby Fort Indiantown Gap training with the Guard. A couple of buddies (anglos) and I went to the movies, in Lebanon I think it was. We sat in front of these two girls, who immediately started cussing in Spanish about or choice of seats.
My buddy from Alabama was asking me what they were saying. I told him to forget it.
The girls keep on keeping on about us in Spanish (Pendejos, cabrones, blanquitos, etc.) for a few minutes.
One of them then taps me in the shoulder and with an attitude asks me in English, "Hey, what time is it?". I replied to her IN SPANISH and in my best Puerto Rican accent, "son las dos de la tarde" and give her "the look". Needless to say the two girls froze to death and then left the theater.
My buddies just couldn't stop laughing.
