So what are all these posters advertising “Saturdays In Chinatown” about? It’s been in the making for awhile but kept very hush hush… It’s the new picture book that’s going to be sold at CICF as well as other bookshops and such. I wrote this book for every person who has ever enjoyed Chinatown. It is a children’s book about what really goes on here.
I think that our ice cream cakes are just as “American” as apple pie. Although lychee, red bean, mango ice cream cakes may not be what comes to mind when you think of Thanksgiving, but to many New Yorkers, it is tradition.
My first time seeing one of Beau’s performance was at the Def Poetry Jam’s performance on Broadway. He is well known for being a spoken word artist.
Although the venue at the MOCA was definitely smaller than the Broadway stage, it gave way to a much more intimate and spontaneous performance.
To celebrate the release of Ann’s new book, Chinatown New York: Portraits, Recipes, and Memories, there was a book release party. Attendees included supporters of the book as well as people that the book featured. (CICF was also included in the book.)
This book on Chinatown is one of a series of books about different ethnic neigbhorhoods in NYC. I was impressed with how beautiful the photographs came out. The content of th book was also excellent. It was truly the most up to date and informative book on Chinatown.
I myself until this morning was under the impression that a BID would only bring positive things to our community. This is definitely not a one sided argument. There is actually a lot of opposition to the BID.
I would have to read more on the issue, but as of now, I oppose the BID. Although I do want cleaner streets just like the rest of Chinatown, I think that there are other avenues to accomplish this if that is the only reason that they are trying to restructure our community.
