Just around the corner, Le Viet – a fantastic Vietnamese restaurant was celebrating Tết – a holiday which marks the first day of the lunar new year. There were firecrackers, drummers, and a Lan – an animal that’s a cross between a lion and a dragon used to scare away evil spirits – also a symbol of strength in the Vietnamese culture. For an area that’s known as The Italian Market, this part of Philadelphia hosts all walks of life and all flavors of cuisine.
All I can think about is Tet in 68…
I figured as much.
