It is the year of the Tiger on the Chinese calendar.  Join us as we experience one of New York’s most colorful spectacles as the Chinese Lunar New Year Parade makes its way through the streets of Chinatown.  Before the parade the group will go to an authentic Chinese restaurant for dim sum. Dim sum is a traditional Chinese breakfast/brunch meal which features small portions of a variety of foods including an assortment of steamed or fried dumplings, meats, fish and pastries and are served in rapid fire succession. (This is not a vegetarian friendly meal.) Our dim sum host will do the ordering for you and accommodate any special requests you have.  Following the dim sum meal, we will make our way over to see the Lunar New Year Parade a few blocks over.

The atmosphere alone is worth coming for.  If you have never tried this, you’ll love it!

The price includes: meal, tea, soft drink, tax and tip, organizer meal

Dress warm!

Cost: $35 General Admission / $30 Lifetime VIP Members
