New Year's balloons, NYC

Happy Lunar New Year!

This week has been a series of celebrations and dinners in Chinatown. I think I've had dinner in Chinatown four nights thus far. Last night I joined friends at a Sichuan hot pot place on Canal, just by the bridge. A few nights ago I found myself at Congee Village. The night before that it was a solo run at Dim Sum Go Go, and the night before that was Shanghai Cafe.

On New Year's day I walked through Chinatown just after the main celebrations, squeezing my way through the crowd. I took a few photos, but I fear that they won't turn out so well. I'll probably have them developed next week.

The photo above was taken on January 1st this year. I was, coincidentally, en route to Chinatown to have noodles at Bo Ky, my favorite noodle restaurant in the area (where I almost always order the fish cake flat noodle soup with a portion of vegetables laid over the noodles). It's delicious, and I find myself craving it more often than not on those long slow weekend afternoons.

An interesting detail with the ballon, it gave you an element so to play with lines and formes of the building and you composed well with this new geometry.

Thanks Reno! I enjoy seeing things caught in lamp-posts and things. I still find it fascinating when I see sneakers tossed up, hanging by their shoelaces.
