If your New Year's resolutions haven't gotten off to an auspicious start or if 2010 is already kicking your ass, lift your spirits at the Chinese Lunar New Year Parade. The annual Chinatown spectacle celebrates the newly-minted Year of the Tiger (a time for passionate decision making and spontaneous generosity — just watch that temper) with a dazzling melange of traditional Chinese lion dancers, Miss Chinatown USA and her royal retinue, decked-out floats, the 200-foot-long Golden Dragon — and thousands of SF revelers mangling "gung hay fat choi." The jam-packed festivities aren't for the claustrophobic, but it's a great way to usher in another new beginning.
