The U.S. Postal Service will hold a special event to commemorate the Year of the Tiger at 11 a.m. on Thursday, Jan. 20. at the Peter Norton Symphony Space (2537 Broadway New York, NY 10025-6990).
The Year of the Tiger begins Feb. 1 and ends Jan. 21, 2023 and is observed by over a billion people worldwide. This event commemorates the third of 12 postage stamps in the Lunar New Year series.
Special guests include United States Postal Service Governor Ronald A. Stroman, New York City Mayor’s Office of Media and Entertainment Commissioner Anne del Castillo, Global Artistic Programs Vice President and Director of the Asia Society Museum in New York Michelle Yun, Lion Dance Performers from the New York Chinese Cultural Center, New York Chinese Cultural Center Executive Director Ying H.

The tiger is the third of the 12 zodiac animal signs associated with the Chinese lunar calendar. As with other zodiac signs, personality traits and other attributes are often associated with people born in the year of a particular animal. Those born during the Year of the Tiger may be seen as brave, confident and well-liked by others. Blue, orange and gray are lucky colors for Tigers, and yellow lilies and cineraria flowers may also bring good luck.
Customers may purchase these stamps onsite, at the Postal Store at usps.com/shopstamps, by calling 844-737-7826, by mail through USA Philatelic, or at Post Office locations nationwide. The Postal Service generally receives no tax dollars for operating expenses and relies on the sale of postage, products and services to fund its operations.

Lunar New Year Celebration with XI’AN FAMOUS FOODS!
The Lunar New Year was already over, and there were many festivities held during the early this month! LULU celebrated the season with an unforgettable concert held by Xi’an Famous Foods, one of the most popular food in New York, that artfully blended the Asian and Asian American experience – with delicious food, drinks, and great music at one of the city’s most iconic music venues, that night was a one of a kind experience.
Held at Manhattan’s mega concert venue Terminal 5 on last Saturday, February 20th, enjoy performances from:
Far East Movement – the first Asian American group to top Billboard’s Top 100, they requireno introduction
Kina Grannis – the Japanese American YouTube star whose crooning voice took her from YouTube to mainstream fame
Kimberley 陳芳語 – the Taiwanese Australian singer whose song “Love You” rocketed her to success in Taiwan and beyond
Softlipa 蛋堡 – the Taiwanese rapper whose Mandarin beats have garnered critical acclaim
Of course I love Xi’an Famous Foods!
Xi’an Famous Foods began as a 200 square foot basement stall in the Golden Shopping Mall in Flushing, N.Y. The original location, established in late 2005, was the first restaurant to bring the little-known cuisine of Xi’an to the United States, with signature hand-ripped noodles, secret spice mixes, and Xi’an “burgers” with housemade flatbread. Since then, they’ve expanded to six locations in Manhattan, two in Brooklyn and two in Queens in total. As a family-owned business, they hope to reintroduce the world to the unique cuisine of their hometown: liangpi “cold skin” noodles, lamb pao mo soup, and wide hand-pulled “biang biang” noodles, all in its most authentic form.
This is one of LULU’s favorite! You should definitely check it out.They have several chains in the city.

My god, I can’t wait to eat it now!
