“Today we are proud to celebrate Lunar New
Year, a time when families and friends across the State gather to ring
in the Year of the Monkey, exemplifying the ideals of intellect,
creativity and cleverness. During Lunar New Year, members of the Empire
State’s thriving Asian and Pacific Islander communities share feasts and
good wishes with their families, pay respect to elders and ancestors,
and revel in festivals, parades, and joyful gatherings that preserve and
enrich this important tradition. On behalf of all New Yorkers, I extend
my warmest wishes for a peaceful, prosperous and happy Lunar New Year.”
