Best vantage points are East Broadway near the Manhattan Bridge arch (less crush than Mott Street). Coupled with the Firecracker Ceremony & Cultural Festival on February 17 at Sara D. Roosevelt Park (the actual Lunar New Year Day) and Super Saturday on February 28 (20+ lion-dance troupes touring Chinatown).
