Could someone explain the way the lunar new year celebrations work in NYC a bit? I saw that there's supposed to be a on Lunar New Year's parade on Feb. 12? Is that bigger or smaller than the celebrations on actual Lunar New Year? Or is there another event/date that is considered the big Lunar New Year celebration in the city?

It’s boring, you stand behind the barricade and just watch the floats and people standing/walking. Because it’s a parade, they will block off lots of streets, making it a true hassel to get from one side to the other ie, the restaurants is literally across from you but you can’t cross there cause of the parade, so you need to walk parallel to the parade till you can cross that street then walk backwards. 2/4 is where all the interactions at. They block the streets to prevent cars entering, us human can roam freely.
