Maddie's World

Xin means new, Nian means year, and Hao means good. Happy Chinese New Year to one and all!! Sheira and I thought long and hard about what to do for Chinese New Year. Originally we thought about going into Chinatown in NYC but after talking to some friends of ours it was obvious that being packed in way too tight with lots of loud noises might not be the best place for us yet alone Maddie. So to celebrate it this year we went to Chinatown in NYC the night before the craziness began with GaGa and Uncle Seth. We did manage to have lots of fun shopping and eating at an apparently well known and crazy busy restaurant - Great N.Y. Noodle Town 28 Bowery, New York, NY, 212-349-0923. It was worth going to and seeing what Maddie was willing to scarf down. She might be a little surprised to know exactly what she ate that day.

For those who would like to know more about Chinese New Year I am adding some links I came across.
