I've always been interested in learning about other cultures because my parents encouraged me to learn about the melting pot that is NYC.  Being that I live in NYC, I went to partake in the Lunar New Year festivities in Chinatown on Sunday January the 29th. It was a clear and cold day but the crowds of people were happy.

One Officer (dubbed Officer Krupke by some of us) was rude to parade watchers as they closed off Mulberry Street for safety reasons.  I understood why he moved the barricades but it wouldn't hurt to not be so grumpy at a parade. This wasn't a protest it was a parade to celebrate the New Year. You can still be friendly while protecting the city, and oh yeah it's probably not a good idea to move a barricade with children and parents with their babies standing or leaning up against them. Avoid the public relations nightmare and use some manners. All the other Officers were nice and friendly.

Despite being barricaded by Officer Krupke onto a side street that limited our view of Mott Street, adults and children enjoyed themselves. Below are some images from my Lunar New Year Parade experience.  Next year I plan on having a press pass to get closer shots of pics.
