we rode our bikes into chinatown for dinner (a so-called nyc jewish christmas tradition),
but even the plan b places were packed so we opted for the unknown,
yee li, for peking duck and veggies, which happened to be a pretty gross
experience overall - greasy food, cockroach falling from the ceiling (really),
crazy people (grownups) playing chopstick drums the whole time.

despite the bad experience, some sesame bubble tea
and a fun ride through the rain washed it off our palate, thankfully!
merry christmas!
