Winter Lantern Festival
January 6, 2019
I caught New York City’s first Lantern Festival on its very last evening at Snug Harbor on Staten Island. Sure, it was crowded and sure, it was muddy, but also… sure, it was pretty darn beautiful and well worth the crowds and mud.
My favorite area was the ocean…
and its glorious rainbow conch.
Then we walked through a shark’s mouth.
Conch. I kept saying it.

They even had a tofu bao that was vegan-friendly at the C Bao food truck at the exit.
Goodbye, beautiful lights. I was very glad to have caught this event… judging by the line of cars heading in on our way out, we weren’t the only ones.
Feeling inspired, some dim sum at Precious Island in New Dorp. Oh how I love red bean paste. Too bad there wasn’t much more vegan options on their menu.
