Photos of 2023 on BSA – #9: Year of the Rabbit

We’re celebrating the end of one year and the beginning of the next by thanking BSA Readers, Friends, and Family for your support in 2023. Picked by our followers, these photos are the heavily circulated and “liked” selections of the year – shot by our Editor of Photography, Jaime Rojo. We’re sharing a new one every day to celebrate all our good times together, our hope for the future, and our love for the street. Happy Holidays Everyone!


The rabbit is a symbol of longevity, peace, and prosperity in Chinese culture, and The Lunar New Year will now be observed in all public schools in the state of New York, following legislation signed by Gov. Kathy Hochul. Here on the wall of Dr. Sun Yat Sen Middle School 131, we see two local celebrities, Bunster and Larry, in a mural by BK Foxx and Claudio Picasso. Celebrating each other’s cultures and traditions is something New Yorkers are always given the opportunity to do, so lucky are we in this city where as many as 800 languages are spoken, making it the most linguistically diverse city in the world.
