Golden Steer's Greenwich Village location was mind-blowing to see in person. The space is like the perfect mix of Vegas through the lens of an NYC fever dream.

I believe it's important that all Americans know how significant Feb.1, known as National Freedom Day, is in U.S. history.
On Feb. 1, 1865 President Abraham Lincoln signed a joint resolution by Congress to end slavery in America, fostering the 13th Amendment to the Constitution. The states ratified the 13th Amendment on Dec. 6, 1865.
In 1948, President Harry Truman signed another joint resolution by Congress to declare every Feb. 1 as National Freedom Day.
My hope is that everyone in our great country pauses to reflect on the freedoms we have, and cherish that the dream is for all to be viewed equally under the law.
As an Asian American, this is cool.
