NYC's Chinatown is one of America's oldest Chinatowns. Countless movies and TV shows like "Men In Black 3", "Spider Man 2" and "Law & Order SVU" have been shot in the streets of Chinatown. Even the band "The Luminee" mentions Chinatown, Bowery and Canal in their song, "Ho Hey"
Most recently, a new restaurant in Chicago named "Mott Street" has opened. Guess where they got their influence? NYC's Chinatown. Congratulations!
1. Turn the lights off! Use natural lighting at home during the day. Close the sheer curtains! It'll save money on your energy bill and help you stay cool at home.
2. Put on your best bathing suit and bring your kids/best friend/significant other to the local park. The sprinklers are on full force and you'll have a great time running through it like you were 5 years old again!
3. If you're on the go, keep a damp face towel inside a zip lock bag You won't believe how comfortable it will feel to dab your face and neck every hour or so!
4. Drink even more water or electrolytes! I made a watermelon, cucumber and lime juice to cool off after my hot yoga class today. If you're allergic, coconut water is a great alternative!
5. Stop by the Chinatown Ice Cream Factory! (OBVIOUSLY!) We have brand new summer flavors like wild berry and black raspberry sorbet.
STAY COOL, KIDS!
Ever wanted to take a walking tour around Chinatown, but wasn't sure where to go? There will be two tours hosted by the Chinatown Business Improvement District on May 26 and June 2!
They are also looking for volunteers - so do whatever your heart desires!
And it's a great time to get together with family and friends to remember how lucky we are to have weathered so many storms together. As residents and businesses are still struggling with the aftermath of Sandy, we must not forget the efforts of the workers and service people who help keep Chinatown the vibrant and amazing community it has always been. CICF is proud to be part of this community and we are blessed to be part of your Christmas memories. Happy Holidays and don't forget there's always room for ice cream!
Who knew ice cream and sake would be such a deliriously delicious combination?!
Sake sommeliers Chris and Chizuko paired a number of different sakes with different flavored ice creams. CICF will be part of a sake and ice cream tasting put together by Asian Women in Business. Stay tuned for event info...
Days like this are pure bliss!
