SUMMARY:Chinese New Year Parade & Dim Sum Feb 1 [Jeudi]
DESCRIPTION:  Join us for the Chinese New Year Parade Sunday\, Feb. 1 
	2009! It starts at 1:00PM on Wentworth from 24th St. to Cermak Rd. but
	 we will start gathering in front of Won Kow Restaurant at 12:00 noon 
	to get a good viewing spot. The streets and parking lots get crowded\,
	 so take the train or carpool if possible. The CTA "Red line" stops ri
	ght in ChinaTown at Cermak . Wear proper attire for the weather. As wi
	th any crowded function\, watch your belongings\, wallets\, etc. The C
	hinatown New Year Parade celebrating the Lunar New Year\, “Year of th
	e Ox\, 4707” will include marching bands\, floats\, lion teams\, a 10
	0’ Mystical Dragon\, and Miss Friendship Ambassador. Please join us t
	o welcome the New Year as we convey “Gung Hay Fat Choi” to all in at
	tendance. ChinaTown Chicago FOOD: I have made two dim sum reservations
	\, one for before and one for after the parade\, at the restaurants be
	low\, under Jeudi (or Judy) and Meetup (hopefully they understood). Ph
	oenix recommended coming before the parade because parking will still 
	be available and traffic won't have gotten crazy yet\, so that's MY pl
	an\; gives plenty of time for food and to get to the meetup spot. Moun
	tain View recommended waiting for a while after the parade to come in\
	, although they did take a reservation\; that would give people time t
	o shop a bit. I won't be eating again at 4:00 but I thought some peopl
	e might want to\, so I'll bequeath the reservation to those who do. PL
	EASE advise if you will be eating either before or after the parade\, 
	so accurate reservations can be assured. EITHER WAY: Please plan to ad
	d 30% to your food order for tax and tip! Hope to see you there! 10:00
	AM Reservation: Phoenix Restaurant 2131 S. Archer Avenue Chicago\, IL 
	60616 (312) 328-0848 Phoenix offers a large and varied authentic selec
	tion for dim sum. This includes steamed and fried dumplings\, appetize
	r portions of roasted pork and duck\, and Chinese sweets to finish. Ev
	eryone at the table can select from the roving carts that pass by. Exp
	ect to pay between 15-18 dollars. This restaurant validates for two ho
	urs of reduced rate parking for the two lots by the El stop. I have ha
	d dim sum here with Fong of CDO and it was great. Unfortunately\, they
	 stop serving dim sum at 3:00pm\, so if you want to eat after the para
	de: 4:00PM Reservation: Mountain View Chef 2168 S Archer Ave Chicago\,
	 IL 60616 (312) 842-2168 Mountain View Restaurant offers a large and v
	aried authentic selection for dim sum. We will order using their menu 
	card. There is no cart service but I confirmed they will still have th
