On May 20, a colorful Asian street bazaar was held to help aid North Korean refugees and also the Church of St. Francis of Assisi ( which does not have a regular "parish" but caters to the community as whole with a lot of outreach and social programs)...

The event was right off of Greeley Square ( just South of Herald Square)--close to Macy's and the other big stores there...

All sorts of Asian specialties were displayed, and there were also men in costumes representing a Martial Arts School...

This is also close to the "Korean District" with all its shop signs in Korean and a magnet for Koreans in New York....although the crowd was very diverse, attracting many tourists who are always in that area in particular.
