What is the soundtrack to your living room? From our favorites on the radio to the conversations woven over them, our living rooms ring with the sounds and stories of our families. Bringing together music and oral history, Rochelle Hoi-Yiu Kwan (aka YiuYiu 瑶瑶) will gather us for an intimate living room listening through the Chinatown Records 華埠錄音 archive. Pulling from over 30 record collections inherited from her family and neighbors, we'll listen together to songs that have long filled Chinatown living rooms – and the histories and memories that come with them.  Rooted in the belief that we can all be DJs and oral historians, we invite you to bring a favorite song of your own to share and soundtrack our living room with us, whether on a vinyl record or online. Come step into these musical portals with us, back to a time – whether 50 years ago while dancing in our youth or to our childhood singing along at family karaoke parties – that etched every word and beat into our memory. Pay-as-you-can RSVP required! If you are unable to contribute financially, please don’t hesitate to reach out to programs@thinkchinatown.org – we would still love to have you there! If you're able to support our programs with a donation, Think!Chinatown can keep them accessible to our Chinatown neighbors. -- Sponsored by Lower Manhattan Cultural Council and NYC Dept of Cultural Affairs Rochelle Hoi-Yiu Kwan (aka YiuYiu 瑶瑶) is a cultural organizer, artist, and oral history educator based on Lenape land in NYC's Manhattan Chinatown. She takes on her childhood name YiuYiu 瑶瑶 as a researcher and DJ for Chinatown Records 華埠錄音. Bringing together art and history, she leads oral history projects and training with Think!Chinatown and a wide variety of classrooms that have taught her so much all along the way. @rochellehkwan Chinatown Records 華埠錄音 is a homegrown community effort to celebrate the richness of music, memory, and history that comes with inherited family collections. Spanning across Chinatown block parties, sonic family histories, living room listenings, and endless learning with family and neighbors, Chinatown Records 華埠錄音 is an ever-growing record of the people we love, who bring all this music back to life with us. @chinatownrecordsproject -- Chinatown Arts Festival is a month-long festival produced by Think!Chinatown to celebrate the cultural richness of Manhattan’s Chinatown with musical and dance performances, storytelling projects, film screenings, art exhibitions, a block party, and so much more!

学校🏫

Metropolitan Museum of Art: Inception Space for Human Civilization This 130,000 square-metre maze hides a larger landscape than the New York skyline. It is recommended to start your time-travel from the Greek and Roman exhibition halls - the sun shines through the glass dome on the 6th century BC marble statues, the lines of the muscles of the gods are still breathing. The temple of the Danyu Temple in the Egyptian Pavilion is the most breathtaking. The complete 15th century BC temple was moved by the wealthy in 1965 and is now soaked in artificial pools, the water reflects the modern tourists, forming a absurd space-time shadow. The &quot;Pharmacist&#39;s Changing Map&quot; in the Asian exhibition hall on the second floor always sits with a thoughtful oriental face, and the Tiffany glass window in the American Wing Courtyard is always a collection of selfie net reds. The real magic happens half an hour before the closing. As the crowd disperses, you can be alone with Van Gogh&rsquo;s self-portrait on the empty European Painting Corridor, watching the twisted brush strokes of the canvas awaken in the dusk. The $25 suggested ticket is a bargain - here you buy not a ticket but a night flight permit for the human civilization of 3,000 years.

Statue of Liberty

Book now for today

The Statue of Liberty: Green Rust Mottled American Fable This bronze sculpture presented by the French has long been the most expensive postcard in New York. As you take the crowded ferry near Liberty Island, you will see the goddess&#39; rusty abrasive glow in the sun - an inch thick layer of oxide, just like the hard-to-ignore years of pulp on the surface of the American Dream. The experience of the crown is full of metaphors. The process of climbing the 354-level spiral staircase is like the struggle of new immigrants: the more up space the more forced, the final look out from the 25 small windows of the crown, the Manhattan skyline becomes a cut-out fragment. In front of the poem tablet of the new giant on the pedestal, tourists from all over the country took turns taking pictures with the verses of &quot;Give me your tired&quot;, and the number of strollers in the security team suggested that the migrant story was still being written. The most moving moment was at dusk. When the sun set on the torch, the saxophonists on the cruise ship began to play &quot;America the Beautiful&quot;. At this time, the goddess turned back to Wall Street and faced the Atlantic Ocean - a position that has been held for 137 years, whether to welcome or farewell.

Rockefeller Center

Karenkakao

A must-visit spot in NYC! Rockefeller Center is not just iconic&mdash;it&rsquo;s also incredibly functional. Walking through the building is a great experience, with beautiful architecture, vibrant public spaces, and plenty of food options in and around the concourse. One of the best features is the subway station right in the lower level, making it super easy to get to. And of course, it&rsquo;s home to my favorite observation deck in the city&mdash;Top of the Rock. The views are unbeatable!
