OPEN MIC MOVES
The Five Points Variety Hour has been at the Silk Road Mocha for as long as I can remember. It has given us all something to look forward to on Friday nights. The performance space has been a great venue for up and coming performers and for groups of friends to hang out.
Now they are down to their last two shows at the Silk Road and will have to move. You can keep up to date with what the latest news is by visiting their website at http://www.fivepointsvarietyhour.com/

LISA BEAUTY CORP
Valentine's Day and Chinese New Year is right around the corner...
With these two big holiday, us girls have to get glammed up! A good excuse to go shopping!
Lisa Beauty Corp is a cosmetic botique on Elizabeth street. They carry big name products; especially from companies that work well on Asian skin. Shisedo and Qiora are big sellers here.
I love how the gift sets come with beautiful bags that you can reuse! A girl can never have too many handbags!
In light of all the recent vacant store fronts, I have been more conscious of continuing to shop in our community. Small businesses are the heart of Chinatown and provide jobs for many.

FAMOUS SICHUAN
I was so excited to find another hot pot place in Chinatown. This winter has been so cold; leaving me to crave something with hot soup...
Hot pots are fun to do with family and friends. It's a social experience where you are cooking the food together at the table. It's good bonding time with the people you care for. And the best part is at the end, you come out with great soup and cooked food!
This restaurant also offers excellent Sichuan food that is already prepared if you're not a hot pot person.
Their fish dishes here are beautiful. They are served whole and many of their options are steamed. The sesame prawns are also delish!
Lastly, if you're on the run and need some grub for lunch, they offer specials. For $5.50, you get a soup, and appetizer and a main dish. Who can beat that price?

YI MEI GOURMET FOOD INC
I eat out a lot. Probably too much. Most of the time, I feel like the food is over flavored and salted. At the end of the day, I just want some home cooking. Even with a busy schedule, eating healthy and wholesome food is important.
At Yi Mei Gourmet, the food tastes like you had cooked at home. They have lots of fish and veggies to choose from. You can pick 3 things over rice and get a soup for less than $5. OMG that rocks!
NYers are a big fan of being what I call "foo fah". They like big fancy names with big fancy prices for their food. This is why we are in a recession...
For the prices that the restaurants in Chinatown charge for their food, you sometimes wonder if it would cost you more to cook yourself. The food in our community is fresh, delicious and economical. What more could you ask for?
Today, I ordered crab, bok choi, and fish over rice. DELISH! This is my new favorite joint!
