## Caption

Kids celebrated Lunar New Year in New York City’s Chinatown by playfully spraying colorful silly string on an NYPD car during the festivities. Officers joined in on the fun, spraying silly string back as families gathered to mark the holiday. The playful exchange, described as a lighthearted Chinatown tradition, does not damage the vehicle as the string does not stick.⁠
