chinese new year!

After waiting an hour and 20 minutes, we got a table at the Golden Unicorn for their great dim sum. Why the long wait you ask? Well, it was the Chinese New Year celebration, of course. I expected a wait, but not THAT long. But we ate well grabbing our dumplings, steamed buns, fried bites, sweet rice cakes from the carts coming by.
Afterwards, as I rushed to the subway (finding many roadblocks of closed off streets) I passed a lion formation (left photo), acrobats, floats with people dressed like the old Imperial Courts...The windy day also had all of the firecracker confetti floating through the streets of Chinatown (right photo). Party on...
