Find out about the secret places under the streets of New York City that people don’t realize exist. Some of these include the Mole People who live in the tunnels of Grand Central Terminal, the secret tunnels of Chinatown, home to many gang wars, the great water system that lies beneath our feet, the perils involved in building the subways and vehicular tunnels, the beautiful art work that is displayed below ground, the special tunnel built by August Belmont for the Steinway Piano Company and many more fascinating things.

A Great Author Talk…
On Saturday, January 11, local author,
Sally Suen, discussed her book, Crystal Cove,
a story that takes place in China, Hong Kong and Los Angeles in the 1980s and 90s.
The lively audience was fascinated by the story
which reflects many aspects of the author's early life.
Sally, who was raised in Hong Kong,
always wanted to write a beautiful love story.
The fact that it has become so relevant to our times was serendipitous but certainly added to the discussion of the changes that have taken place in Hong Kong since the 80s.

Here's a gallery of photos from some of our best loved programs

Coconut Lotions for Day and Night
A great time was had by all and everyone went home with two tins of silky smooth coconut lotions. One had the invigorating scent of Bergamot for day and the other with calming Lavender to ease them into gentle sleep for night. Just in time for the winter season!

The Ancient Art of Paper Cutting

We had great fun and created beautiful artwork with excellent guidance from Sine Hjort as she taught this fascinating craft. We learned how to fold paper, cut basic patterns and connect lines. The concept of negative space was challenging, but we all ended up with lovely sillouettes to take home.
