This year patrons can enjoy Chinese opera, klezmer, salsa, and plena music; Yiddish, Mandarin and Spanish lessons; Hebrew and Chinese scribal art, Puerto Rican mask making, mah jongg and, of course, egg rolls, egg creams and empanadas. You don’t want to miss New York City’s best block party where three important and eccentric cultures come to meet. This cross-cultural celebration of the Jewish, Chinese and Puerto Rican communities of the intricate Lower East Side neighborhood is a perfect way for all New Yorker’s to celebrate their heritage and culture together in unity.
