I just noticed this old flyer for a local parade celebrating the great combo that is Little Italy and Chinatown. Headshots at the bottom of the flyer announce appearances by Italian-American celebrities Tony “Paulie” Sirico from The Sopranos, Lou Christie from who-knows-what, Cristina Fontanelli from ditto, and that Chinese-American personality we know and love - “Lion.” Was Margaret Cho not available? Oh wait, crap, she’s Korean-American… Ummm how about B.D. Wong? Really? Lion?… Is that all we got?…
