Actually Chinese New Year (Lunar Calendar) is on Feb. 8th 2008 not Feb. 18 as the previous post mentioned. Feb. 18 was this past Chinese New Year (2007)
It is the Year of the Rat.
YOu should definitely go to Chinatown to experience Chinese New Year. Every year there are firecrackers and lion dances.
It’s too early yet…but check with the chinatown website link below..they usually have the Chinese New Year Itinerary up when the date is closer.
