All who wish to participate should register here. Free activities include a sampling of Asian cuisine, desserts, and tea on planned restaurant crawls; a scavenger hunt with prizes; the ability to experience the history, architecture, and culture of Chinatown through an audio or walking tour; experience the Chinatown murals, Tai Chi classes; and live music. Anyone who participates and spends more than $50 at any Chinatown vendors will also receive a gift bag from ABNY. There will be an After Party by Think!Chinatown at 8 p.m. featuring vintage Chinatown vinyl sounds with YiuYiu at the Mosco Street Newsstand. The event has been sponsored in part by Lyft offering a $20 Lyft discount code for travel to and from the event and gift card prizes.
