The new SF Planning, Building & Health Dept building at 49 Van Ness is a VIBE.

Strong tech office/KQED remodel/fancy NYPL aesthetic.

So fancy we can almost forget it’s where our dreams were more or less crushed 👻

I saw anh framed just so in the doorway and it made me go *skkkrrrttt*

I backtracked to admire him in front of his teddy bear tableau and asked about the sweater. “It’s for sale,” he said. “Who made it?” I asked. He said, “Someone.” I gave him this face 🙄 and was like “Is that someone your wife?” And out came chi in do bo and slippers. He whispered to her the price he gave me, which clued me in on our shared background. They told stories about what it was like immigrating from Saigon to Brooklyn at age thirteen — “it was very cold and everyone was very tall.”

Got to leave New York with this sweater and new acquaintances and experiences. Thank you NY Viet community for the good food and vibes this week.

Val here. I was born in the Year of the Cat / Rabbit and was told recently to stock up on red underwear and a dog trinket to protect myself this lunar new year.

Here’s my Chinatown LNY haul:

❣️red un**es (New Fashion Boutique -780 Jackson St), 🐶 pink bracelet with a jade dog (Sino American Books & Arts - 751 Jackson St)
🎈a bit of everyday red with Abacus Row’s Friendship Bracelet (1256 Mason St.)

To all my fellow cats and rabbits, get your red and dog-adorned accessories to bring in good vibes — it’s our year bb! Meow!
