Chinatown Partnership - 6th Annual Benefit & Awards Gala

Thursday, June 20, 2013 from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM

This is your special invitation to the Chinatown Partnership’s annual fundraiser: our event to celebrate outstanding leaders and their remarkable contributions, as well as raise funds, for the continued revitalization of our community after the recent series of disruptions. Chinatown Partnership Local Development Corporation’s Sixth Annual Benefit & Awards Gala is scheduled for Thursday, June 20, 2013 at 6pm at Jing Fong Restaurant, located at 20 Elizabeth Street.

Given historic trends that have preceded and impacted our surrounding neighbors, this year’s gala theme is focused on the Fundamental Keys to the Future of our Community: Education, History (as the New-York Historical Society succinctly acknowledges, “History Matters”), and the Leadership of exemplary role models who stepped up to help others. We are delighted and honored to recognize these distinguished individuals and organizations for their outstanding contributions and achievements:


Outstanding Education Leadership Award
Dr. Matthew Goldstein – Chancellor, City University of New York

Historic Leadership Award
Dr. Louise Mirrer – President and CEO, New-York Historical Society

Humanitarian Awards
Buddhist Tzu Chi Foundation, U.S. NE Region – Civic Leader
Kiwanis Club of Chinatown – Community Leader

Business Leader Award
Mr. Louis Miu – Miu & Co., CPA

In these challenging and pivotal times, it is even more critical to have your support to provide essential services and programs for a struggling community Post-Sandy. Funding for our general operating budget is very limited and your generous donations will help sustain efforts in providing assistance to the sacred and diverse hollow ground where New York City began.

Story Review By Eataku.com:

 

We popped into this small eatery to see what it was all about... and fell in love with it! We only had two dishes but went head-over-heels for the flavors of both and will be going back to explore the rest of the menu with empty stomachs very soon!  

 

The first dish out of the kitchen was their Grilled Pepper Chicken with Rice...


We expected a wok-fried dish but it came out as more of a stew. This only made it more appealing though, giving the chicken a softer texture and more depth of flavor. If we had known ahead of time, we would have gone with the pancakes instead of rice.

  

Next up was the Spicy Beef Brisket Hui Mei...


  

Thick, chewy, tasty hand-pulled noodles...


With a mix of herbaceous greens and the unexpected inclusion of seaweed, which was a nice surprise. A winner of a dish!

And as a bonus, they make their own hot chili oil, which enhanced flavor just as much as it lovingly burned. Outstanding!! I almost stole the jar off the table...

Two fabulous plates of food and two bottles of water, all for... $13!  We'll be seeing you soon, and often, Spicy Village!

Amazing Spider-Man 2 In Chinatown

By Margaret Eby / NEW YORK DAILY NEWS


Spider-man: Web-slinger, crime-fighter, and, in a pinch, point guard.  According to a witness, actor Andrew Garfield gave New York City kids a thrill when he joined them for a quick game of hoops while filming "The Amazing Spider-Man 2."
In a YouTube clip shot by an enthusiastic fan, a Garfield goofs around on a Chinatown court wearing the trademark Spidey costume.

Review by Carson Y. from Yelp.com:

I was looking to replace my heel on my loafers and I thought of checking out Chinatown, since it's inexpensive and I got a referral to this hole in the wall by a friend, and I'm glad I stumble upon here. It's literally a tiny shed under the Manhattan Bridge. They have no address and no actually store. It's a little open space next to a stall #120. A mom and pop are working to repair anything from shoes to zippers while patrons walk by and drop off their shoes. It took about 30 mins to change both heels and I asked them to repair a hole on the ball of the shoe. It came it to $18 flat, and I was extremely happy with their services and price. I will definitely go back!!

Visiting NYC? Where to Eat in Little Italy and Chinatown 
 

Judging by the tour buses and grinning hawkers outside our Chinatown office doors, tourist season is back in full swing in New York, and if you're coming to town, we want to help.

 

Should you be visiting our Chinatown/Little Italy digs, hooray! You're coming to one of the most fun food neighborhoods in the city. But you need to know where to look and where to avoid. Visitors are often surprised when we tell them that Little Italy isn't an ethnic neighborhood anymore, that "real" New York Italians neither live there nor visit its eateries.* These days it's more or less home to schlocky restaurants and bakeries that thrive on dishing mediocre or downright bad food to out of towners, and gift shops trading in Sopranos quotes on cheap t-shirts.

* However, plenty of Italian tourists go, a phenomenon I'm still trying to explain.

 

But the neighborhood is still well worth a visit, both for the Little Italy institutions that are still awesome and for its proximity to Chinatown's many edible wonders. The two neighborhoods are so closely intertwined that it's easy to do them both in a day, especially with this guide in hand.
