It is the year of tiger, the third sign in the Chinese Zodiac, which is a symbol of bravery. Times have been tough for many of us, so maybe we can embrace this lunar new year and welcome bravery into our lives. While festivities in Chinatown began last weekend, there will be two parades this weekend, Saturday in Queens and Sunday in Manhattan.
