Our parade route! Tip: spread yourself out along the route further down. Avoid Mott & Hester as the starting point since all our floats & participants will just be lining up and starting. Mott St/Canal is always a favorite if you want to be in the action but E. Broadway expands a bit too for more space.3/1 — 1pm start! by @betterchinatown
