I take the kids to Chinatown almost every year for the firecrackers and the food. It will be tough this year - we move to Kip's Bay from the Upper East Side on 1/28. 18 years in the same neighborhood - will be strange. I won't be commenting for a while - too much going on and too much to do. Amazing - we are literally moving 3 miles away and it feels like 100. I'll catch up when I can - talk to you soon.

It's been quite a few years since my family and I attended local celebrations, so maybe this would be the ideal opportunity for us to do so again.

Of course these days both the poor dragon and the fire cracker marshals will probably be equally frightened by me :) Cid Miles,

You've been all over the place, haven't you? I love this photo, by the way. Great colors! Luck, prosperity, and harmony, you say? I better get with it and do some decorating. :-) Melissa P.S. Happy Chinese New Year a few days early. Not only are you a renegade, you’re a traveling one. You’ve been all over the place, haven’t you? I love this photo, by the way. Great colors!
