Jeremy Lin - Taiwanese American descent basketball player for New York Knicks

New York Knicks welcomes Jeremy Lin - Taiwanese American descent basketball player from California.

Even though it is Superbowl Sunday, I could not resist to write a blog post about a New York Knicks basketball player that is Taiwanese American descent as myself.



Last night, Jeremy Lin with the rest of New York Knicks play in Madison Square Garden, he scored career-high 25 points, seven assists, and five rebounds in leading New York to a 99-92 victory over New Jersey Nets. And the New York Knicks fan were uproar cheering for this new and up and coming Asian American basketball player.

In end of 2011, Jeremy Lin joined New York Knicks from San Francisco Golden State Warriors, making him the fourth ASIAN AMERICAN and FIRST American born Taiwanese-Chinese basketball player to join NBA.

He is 22 years old, 6'3 tall with laser focus ambition had helped him succeed not only in basketball, he is also a proud Harvard University graduate.

In a recent press conference, Jeremy Lin said "It's humbling, a privilege, and a honor. I'm really proud of being Chinese, I'm really proud of my parents being from Taiwan. I just thank God for the opportunity."

Well Jeremy, we are very proud of you too. We hope you will keep on scoring for New York Knicks and silence the critics with your athletic ability. We are proud that you are out there representing Taiwanese Americans and showing the world that we are not just great at academics but we are athletic and well versed in other parts of lives as well. We are proud of your hardwork, putting Asian Americans on the world stage of Basketball and pave the road for the future Asian American players.

Café Gitane - French & Moroccan Cafe in Nolita Manhattan New York

Café Gitane - French & Moroccan Cafe in Nolita Manhattan New York


New York city today was almost 60 degrees, so few friends and I decided to meet up for a quick lunch in NoLiTa, one of the trendiest neighborhood in New York city.











We wanted to have a fun lunch so we decided to visit Cafe Gitane, a French and Moroccan cafe that is known for their baked eggs, couscous,
mint tea and avacado toasts. 








We had a great time dining there along with all the fashionistas in this popular downtown neighborhood. Some stars such Leonardo DiCaprio, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Jude Law and few more have also seen having a tea time at Cafe Gitane.









Next time you are in town, be sure to go to Cafe Gitane and get a table outside so you can people watch while sitting your mint ice tea or caffe'.

Gramercy Tavern-Wonderful Downtown restaurant in Manhattan New York

Last night we visited one of the great Downtown restaurant in Manhattan- Gramercy Tavern.

Gramercy Tavern food is Classic American Tavern food with a modern twist. The restaurant had two sections, the tavern section and the dining room. We had our dinner at the dining room, the dining room menu offers $88 Dining Tasting menu or Seasonal tasting menu for about $116 per person.

Before we went to the restaurant, we had read up on different reviews to see what we should order, all the reviewers said
Smoked trout, braised belly, braised lamb shoulder are must get items, so we made sure we select those items on the tasting menu.

2012 Year of the Dragon-Chinese New Year

It is about that time, Chinese New Years! This year (2012) is the year of Dragon. The year of dragon follows the rabbit and comes after a regular interval of twelve (12) years. The Chinese New Year doesn’t fall on any particular date; hence it is necessary to go through the lunar calendar so as to come up with the accurate date on which the year of the dragon actually falls. As a general guide, here are some years that if you were born in those years below, most likely you are born in the year of dragon, but you should also double check the lunar calendar.

  • 1904 

  • 1916 

  • 1928 

  • 1940

  • 1952

  • 1964

  • 1976

  • 1988 

  • 2000

 It is quite similar to Western horoscope, depend on what animal year you were born, there are different general characteristics. It is just a general personality traits, it varies from person to person, so have a look at people grouped under the dragon years or more simply people born in the year of the dragon exhibit characteristics such as:


  • Enterprising
  • Innovative
  • Self-assured
  • Flexible
  • Passionate
  • Brave
  • Unanticipated
  • Scrutinizing
  • Generous
  • Charismatic
  • Free spirited
  • Smart and witty
  • Original  

Dragons are blessed with good health. The only thing that bothers them is stressful situations. At work, dragons are pretty imaginative and prefer taking a radical approach towards their work. (Guess who was born in the year of Dragon?).


Happy Chinese New Year everyone.

Ten Ren's TeaTime in Little Italy-Chinatown of Manhattan New York

I love Chinese tea, especially Jasmine tea or Green tea.

In cold winter days, it is one of the best way to take in some fluid into the body without adding much of calories.

It also helps digestion and some health diet benefits. This tea place located in the neighborhood of Little Italy-Chinatown Manhattan New York offers from hot or cold tea, bubble tea or tapioca tea with different flavors. 

 

This place is actually part of Ten Ren Company, which has been specializing in Asian teas for more than 50 years. 

They also offer a small selection of Chinese buns or cookie and other snacks to go along with your beverage of choice.

Next time you are in Chinatown, be sure to stop by Ten Ren Teatime.

H&H Midtown Bagels East-Upper East Side Manhattan New York

One of New Yorker's favorite breakfast item is bagel. Perhaps it is in the New York water, or the champagne of tap as they say, but New York bagels are hard to beat.

Upper East Side Manhattan, H&H Midtown Bagels East is one of Manhattan most well known bagel shops.  

There is always fresh bagels out of the oven, they have range of bagels from plain, wholewheat sesame, garlic, onion, multi-grain sesame to everything bagel (my favorite!)

Living in Manhattan New York, having fresh bagels are one of the luxury we have. We don't have to eat bagels out of a pre-pack plastic bag.  Be sure to stop by H&H Midtown Bagels East (Second Avenue between East 80th and East 81st Street) next time you are in the neighborhood.
