It’s boring, you stand behind the barricade and just watch the floats and people standing/walking. Because it’s a parade, they will block off lots of streets, making it a true hassel to get from one side to the other ie, the restaurants is literally across from you but you can’t cross there cause of the parade, so you need to walk parallel to the parade till you can cross that street then walk backwards. 2/4 is where all the interactions at. They block the streets to prevent cars entering, us human can roam freely.

If you’re back by 2/4, stop by Chinatown. That’s super Saturday, more lion dances will be out that day.

February 4 will be super Saturday. More lion dance associations will be out in Chinatown, from Brooklyn, queens and SI. Please come and join the fun.
