Chinatown Delights
Love a good parade? Tomorrow you can enjoy the Year of the Tiger festivities at the Chinatown Chinese New Year Lion Dance Festival. The party kicks off at 10am in Phillips Square and is open to the public. I also asked Evadne for ideas for tasty spots to warm up and snack during the festivities. She recommends: New Jumbo Seafood, Gourmet Dumpling House, and Eldo Cake House (for baked treats).
And for additional Chinese New Year happenings, the Peabody Essex Museum in Salem will celebrate the lunar new year with dance, crafts, and demos on Sunday February 27 from 10 AM-5 PM. Admission is $15 for adults and free for children under age 18.

OMG - Thank you, thank you, thank you, Christine!!!! The Chinese New Year Lion Dance Festival was EXACTLY what my family and I needed to cure our cabin fever following a LONG vacation week. David and I discussed making this an annual tradition.
