Instagram Photo of The Week: Happy Year The Rabbit

Oh, the cuteness of this little bunny performing the Chinese Dragon Dance in celebration of the Lunar New Year and the Year of the Rabbit! We were in Flushing Queens yesterday to attend the Big Apple Comic Con and inadvertently ended up celebrating the Chinese New Year since our subway stop was right in the heart of Chinatown! We saw a fun parade and lots of Chinese Lunar New Year cultural events inside the very modern Tangram Mall, which seems to be the social hub of this Asian neighborhood. Very fun!  Happy New Year to all who celebrate!

Finally, there’s bright spot on this dismal end of year season. Pearl River Mart, everyone’s favorite Asian Imports Store, has reopened as a Pop-Up at 395 Broadway. Oh, Happy Day. This space will become the store’s permanent location after a brief shuttering in February 2017 to allow for further construction on the interior.

Store Interior Far Right

I made an excited initial visit to the new store and can report that, while it is now much smaller than its previous 30,000 SF, multi-level home, this new space has many of the items you love to peruse, shop for, and give as gifts including ceramics and tableware, tea sets, slippers, brocade satin purses and novelty tote bags, trinkets, cosmetics and of course incense and tiny statuary.

It is so exciting and comforting to have Pearl River back in business. Welcome Back!
