Golden Unicorn Restaurant
From the outside, Golden Unicorn Restaurant looks unassuming enough. Some Chinese characters hang above the exterior of the office building it calls home, and a simple awning beckons diners inside. But everything changes once you're through those doors, and it becomes clear why this restaurant has garnered consistent praise, including a Michelin Guide Recommendation in 2014. Sweeping golden curtains and red accents line the walls, and elaborate chandeliers hang above sprawling dining areas that can accommodate up to 500 guests or 250 sets of twins. It all looks like a royal palace-one where the monarch is obsessed with delectable cuisine.
At lunchtime, suit-clad waiters and waitresses glide through the three-floor space with carts of dim sum. On any given day, they could bring up to 100 classic options: pork dumplings, steamed buns, salt baked shrimp in the shell, and much more. After those carts return to their stations, the kitchen shifts focus to main courses of Cantonese-style cuisine. Deep-fried seafood rolls, baked pork, and egg-white soup all transport diners to the Far East. Should the vast menu seem overwhelming, diners can go the prix fixe route or try each week's new collection of specials. On certain evenings, Golden Unicorn Restaurant also hosts banquets in celebration of weddings, birthdays, and other events.

13 Doyers St., 212-962-6047
Originally opened in 1920, Nom Wah Tea Parlor is NYC's oldest dim sum parlor and is located in the heart of Chinatown. This throwback gem was recently remodeled, but it retains the old-timey charm that has kept it buzzing for almost a century. Longtime regulars and first-timers enjoy the incredible dim sum, such as har gow (a traditional Chinese shrimp dumpling) and the Original egg roll (mixed veggies and chicken rolled in an egg crepe, then fried), plus other dishes like traditional pan-fried noodles.

MOCATALKS: Unearthing the Story World of Phillip Chen
Thu, Sep 25, 2014 from 7pm - 9pm
Visual artist Phillip Chen creates relief etchings inspired by his family stories. One print unearths his great grandfather's experience as a gold miner in California during the Gold Rush in the 1860s. Another is based on his uncle who owned the only restaurant in Fort Wayne, Indiana that served African Americans in the 1930s. Please join Phillip Chen in conversation with MOCA's co-founder Jack (John Kuo Wei) Tchen as they discuss the intriguing yet complex stories within these amazing prints and address the important distinction between history and memory.

青少年學舞又步入另一階段
青少年學舞和兒童學舞有些不同。兒童上舞蹈班，旨在培養她們的興趣，老師的態度是鼓勵多於要求。等到有了相當基礎再繼續學，就要懂得調整自己的學習態度，老師可能要求較嚴格，進度也較快 ，學生練習時必須一絲不苟 ，仔細做好每一個動作 。在這個階段 ，學生應該學會觀察、判斷老師的動作和敎法 ，如果有心向舞蹈發展，則不妨擴大學習範圍。
To register, please visit our office at 70 Mulberry St., 2nd Fl., NYC, 10013 or email
[email protected] or call 212-349-0438
