Chinese New Year fall in the middle of the week this year, so there are two weekends of celebration. We decided to do it this weekend because we figured most people will go for the next one. Sure enough, we did beat the crowd and the weather cooperated as well. It snowed last night, but there was no accumulation. It was also warm enough during the day to melt a little bit. Originally, we though many people were going to eat out today because there was heavy traffic in downtown Flushing. It turned out to be major construction on Main St. where they closed off a major intersection. We even had to walk all the way around the block and enter Tung Yi Fung from a back street. We got in at around 5:30pm and it was almost empty. It eventually filled up a bit, but not overpacked like it will be next weekend.
