The Lunar New Year\u2014also known as Chinese New Year or Spring Festival\u2014is full of traditions. It honors deities and ancestors, and brings families together for a special meal known as the Reunion Dinner. Also, each year gets named for one of the 12 animals featured in the Chinese zodiac (2020 is all about the Year of the Rat). Here are eight cities where you can join in the Lunar New Year festivities.<\/p>\n

\nAs the only historic Chinatown surviving in New England, this Beantown<\/a> neighborhood has a thriving commercial, cultural and community feel. It also puts on a massive Chinese New Year celebration<\/a> with lion dances and traditional musical performances. Year-round, this locale has enough to keep visitors engaged: restaurants, bakeries, markets, herbal shops and the tranquility of Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy Greenway’s Chinatown Park. Other picks include Hong Kong Eatery, with standard Chinese fare at steady prices, and Winsor Dim Sum Caf\u00e9\u2019s made-to-order service. Admirers of Asian arts and crafts will happily browse through Essex Corner.<\/p>\n

New York City<\/strong>
\nIn Lower Manhattan<\/a>\u2019s Chinatown<\/a>, the Lunar New Year comes in with a bang, with a New Year\u2019s Day Firecracker Ceremony & Cultural Festival at Sara D. Roosevelt Park. A few days later, the Lunar New Year Parade & Festival happens along Chinatown\u2019s main streets. Afterwards, go for dim sum at Nom Wah Tea Parlor, or Sichuan at 456 Shanghai Cuisine, or Cantonese at Great N.Y. Noodletown. As for shopping, Canal Street is lined with small stores selling \u201cdesigner\u201d goods. Instead, wander along Mott Street and buy teas from Ten Ren Tea and Ginseng Co. and Asian treats at Aji Ichiban. Further your experience by heading out to Brooklyn\u2019s Sunset Park or Flushing, Queens.<\/p>\n

\nThe City of Brotherly Love<\/a>\u2019s Chinatown is comprised of a spectrum of cultures (Hong Kong, Korean, Taiwan, Burmese and Malaysian, among others) as diverse as Asia itself. Its Lunar (or Chinese) New Year celebrations are just as grand with cultural and educational events held at the Independence Seaport Museum<\/a>, International House Philadelphia<\/a> and Penn Museum<\/a>. Other events<\/a> include a Lunar New Year Parade, presented by the Philadelphia Suns, and an evening New Year\u2019s Eve Lion Dance Performance. For eating ops, get some hot pot at Nine Ting, or dim sum or sushi at Sakura-Mandarin and a souvenir from Asia Crafts.<\/p>\n

Washington, D.C.<\/strong>
\nThe Chinatown in our nation\u2019s capital<\/a> rings in this season with a Chinese New Year\u2019s Parade<\/a> along H Street, NW. There\u2019s also an interesting footnote in American history found here. A building that now contains a restaurant called Wok and Roll was once the boarding house owned by Mary Surratt where John Wilkes Booth and his co-conspirators plotted Abraham Lincoln\u2019s assassination. Dine at Chinatown Express, a noodle shop noted for Xiao Long Bao (soup dumplings), or China Boy, with yummy rice noodles. Pop into Da Hsin Co., a grocery store stocked with Chinese teas and herbs, and decorative objects. Plus, check out The Smithsonian American Art Museum<\/a>‘s Chinese New Year event.<\/p>\n
