Chinatown has been hit hard by the pandemic. They are trying to get people to come. The cheery lanterns are inviting. We went there for dinner and ate in a cubicle outside. The food was good. A cold rain began to fall. Ordering a sizzling plater was a good idea because it kept the food hot. Next time I’ll bring a blanket and a thermal cup for the tea. Someone needs to invent a rechargeable plate warmer for outdoor dining. I couldn’t find one on Amazon to take with me for outdoor winter dining.

Lanterns in Chinatown, NYC 1/3/2021

Great picture
The lights and colors you’ve shared make this seem very inviting, Sherry! If I weren’t in Florida, I’d come! BTW, Super idea for a plate warmer! You should design one and patent it. How useful it would be for so many diners in cold places.
Thank you. If I knew how to design a battery operated plate warmer I could make a fortune 🙂
Beautiful photo, with the reflections on the street and of course the lanterns!
Thank you very much. It made me feel good to see that.
Delightful photo, Sherry, and wonderful description of your outdoor dinner during Covid.
Thanks Jet 🙂 It was an experience. Mostly we order take out if we don’t feel like cooking.
A festive, like normal, image.
I bet that is the goal 🙂 We all need some uplifting.
Wonderful shot
Thanks Derrick. I left it dark for atmosphere.
Absolutely
