Inside, two people confirmed that it was the Vietnamese Lunar New Year, Tet, that was being celebrated. They tried to set off some more of the confetti rockets, but none worked. So then they pointed out the food offerings along with with many burned incense sticks.
Holiday treats and special foods were set out for customers and staff to enjoy. The two who were setting off the confetti rockets said they will be celebrating at home with their families.
Here is an explanation that I found online about The Year of the Cat (Chinese are marking The Year of the Rabbit).
What fun to see the joy of these Park Avenue neighbors as they share their holiday with their customers!
