For the
second
straight year,
neighborhood
organizations
representing
New York
City’s five
boroughs, have
joined forces
to deliver
messages of
love and
support to
small
businesses
throughout the
city – all in
time for
Valentine’s
Day, February
14. Locations
differ, but
the message is
the same: Shop
local; Call
direct for
delivery;
Leave a
positive
review; Give a
shout out on
social media;
and do Takeout
Tuesdays.
“New
Yorkers and
visitors alike
are invited to
come visit
Chinatown not
only for your
Valentine’s
Day, but also
to celebrate
the Lunar New
Year’s New
Moon Lantern
Festival with
us, on
February
15th,” said Chinatown
BID Executive
Director,
Wellington
Chen.
“Commemorating
a time when
villagers in
Hunan worked
together,
lighting
lanterns at
every doorway,
we, too, can
send a message
to everyone
about our
resilient
small business
community.
Join the
Chinatown BID
as we
celebrate
Lunar New Year
with our #SmallBusinessSweetie
neighbors who
work hard
every day to
get us through
this pandemic,
and enjoy
delicious
traditional
sweets during
this holiday
season!”
