While February may be the shortest month of the year, there is still plenty of things to do in NYC. From cultural moments to winter fun discover the vibrant energy of the city this winter.
Ring In The New Year
Celebrate the Lunar New Year as we usher in the Year of the Snake. Symbolizing renewal, transformation, and spiritual growth; kickoff the festivities with the annual parade in Chinatown on February 16th at 1:00 PM. The parade begins on Mott Street and heads east on East Broadway before ending on Grand Street. Throughout the month, enjoy the vibrant decorations and delicious treats.
For Those With A Sweet Tooth
Last year we fell in love with Bombolones – Italian donuts filled with chocolate, custard, or various jellies - and this year the popular festival returns for another sweet year. Hosted by Underground Donut Tour and Unregular Bakery, meet us on February 8th at Essex Market between 10:00 AM and 4:00 PM. Indulge in Bombolones plus enjoy live competitions to see who will take home the Bombolone Fest Award.
