At Chinatown Chow Down we’re very excited to be part of a fun upcoming event. The fine folks over at BBQ Films have been planning this shindig for a while, and it’s finally all come together for what is promising to be an unforgettable night of food, beer, and Bruce Lee. With tons of Chef One dumplings to chow down on and Chinese beer to sip, you won’t go hungry or thirsty. There will also be a spectacular performance by the traditional Lion Dance Team from the United East Athletic Association to ring in the new year, a spectacle that will blow you away. But wait, there’s a movie too! The cult classic kung fu flick Enter the Dragon is on tap for a stunning finale to a fantastic night that all takes place just steps from Chinatown. Watch the trailer to get you in the mood and grab your tickets here.

The stream of city app guide just keeps on flowing. And that’s a good thing, especially in a city like New York. There’s no way you can keep up with all the amazing places, events, and happenings around this gigantic town. So it’s time to add a new member to the list: UrbanDig. This app partners with local curators to create cool itineraries around drinking, eating, and exploring. The folks behind UrbanDig contacted Chinatown Chow Down and asked us to create a snack tour of the neighborhood. We were more than happy to oblige. UrbanDig users will get a small taste of the Chow Down, and we’ll get our cool logo out in front of a few more savvy travelers. Oh yeah, did we mention UrbanDig is 100% free? Go ahead and download it. You’ll find some new insights into New York as well their other cities San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Vancouver with even more locations coming soon.
