Celebrating Lunar New Year with Welcome to Chinatown

Celebrating Lunar New Year with Welcome to Chinatown


This Lunar New Year, we teamed up with Welcome to Chinatown to show love to some of our favorite Chinatown businesses: 12 PellGrand Tea & ImportsKam Hing Coffee ShopMee Sum Cafe.

Through Lunar New Year celebrations and beyond, Alumni of NY will be donating half of all proceeds from our in-house collection to Welcome to Chinatown's Longevity Fund to support and protect small businesses in Manhattan's Chinatown. 

12 PELL


12 Pell is more than a barbershop. They take grooming and personal care to a high art, cultivating a sense of luxury and leisure in a beautiful space. Home of the "best slice in the city."

Shop local. Show love to New York City. Show love to Chinatown.

GRAND TEA & IMPORTS

While Grand Tea & Imports is best known for its teas (we recommend the Tangerine Pu-erh Tea), the beautiful shop also has red envelopes with gold foil for gifts of money, luck and prosperity in the Lunar New Year.

KAM HING COFFEE SHOP

Kam Hing is best known for its sponge cakes and for good reason. They're airy and light and melt in your mouth. Perfect with a coffee or milk tea.


MEE SUM CAFE

Definitely check out Mee Sum Cafe at 26 Pell Street. Start off with milk tea or coffee. You have to get wontons welcome a year of wealth. Then move on to a bowl of noodles to symbolize health and longevity. Wrap it up with Taishan Style Sticky Rice Wrap for prosperity.
