New York City Comes Alive!

The New York City Health Department reported that infant births went up by 3,455 beautiful babies in 2007. The total was 128,961, up from 125,506 in 2006. Asians accounted for about half the increase. No reason was given for the extra fireworks going off in bedrooms in Chinatown and across the city in 2006 to cause the rise in 2007. Hmmmmm. 2006 was the Year of the Dog. I guess Asian guys got their way a bit more often than others.

New York City Really Woks!

In early 2007, there were roughly 2,300 Chinese restaurants in New York City compared to about 1,400 in 1997. That's a huge increase in ten years. Admittedly, few things taste better than a Chinese meal! But, can you figure out why there are 900 more Asian eateries around? Try using your noodle to read between their noodles to get the answer. If that doesn’t help, try looking inside your fortune cookie.
