Yes, indeed. Happy New Year! Say, does anyone know how an out-of-towner should do Chinese New Year in New York City as a weekend visit? Please drop me a line. Maybe next year I'll take my wife and son, but given the expense, I'd like some inside tips about how to make the most of it.
Trelja, I won't be making it this year; I'm in the Midwest. I'm a Phillies fan by birth, but I'm just an occasional visitor to the East Coast these days. It sounds like you can't go wrong by just being there in Chinatown and improvising--that's good to know. I read that back in the 90's, Guiliani put a stop to the nighttime fireworks celebrations. I wonder if that's still the case?

I was thinking of finding a hotel in Flushing, to save some expense, and taking the subway to Manhattan. But at this point, I'm just thinking about possibilities for next year. ...though the Feast of San Gennaro sounds like a great idea, too. I lived in Boston for a while and remember the festivals in the North End there...ah, memories. Thanks for the tips.
