Tomorrow, you can celebrate the Year of the Ox by heading to Chinatown for the annual Lunar New Year Parade. It starts at noon or 1 p.m. (Explore Chinatown says the former, Better Chinatown Society the latter)—and you might as well go early and get dim sum!— the route begins at Mott & Hester Streets, going down Mott Street to Chatham Square, E. Broadway and Chrystie Street. There's also a cultural festival starting at 11:30 a.m. at Grand & Chrystie Street. Gong hei fat choi!

    The real parade, on the real New Year's Day, was last Monday. It was a blast!

    I hope the police have more foresight than last year and will close down traffic. It's a wee bit hard to have a parade with traffic.
