Today Leena and I celebrated Chinese and Jewish culture in Chinatown at the 10th Egg Rolls and Egg Creams Festival at the Eldridge Street Synagogue. Where else can you see people of every stripe enjoying klezmer music and traditional chinese music and learning about a tea ceremony as well as how to blow a shofar.
The synagogue, built in last 19th century and fully restored, has Romanesque and Moorish detailing and a goreous new monumental stained glass window by Kiki Smith and Deborah Gans

And of course we had to have lunch so we explored a busy Chinatown mall and found little restaurant/stall and had Chinese dumplings and steamed buns....
and that was before our respective foot and back rub on Elizabeth Street.
And we saw rehearsals for the dragon parade in the park...
