So that's kind of what we've done in the last couple of years. Joanne , you also have, I believe, a store in Chelsea Market.Correct? Yeah. We have four stores now.
That's really wonderful. So I understand a couple of years ago, Born This Way Foundation traveled with Lady Gaga's Joanne world tour. Can you tell us more about that opportunity and how you engage with fans and the communities along the way?Absolutely. I'll just give you a little history.
So let's get into this. Joanne , I think your book-- and I'd strongly urge you to read it.It's filled with a tremendous amount of information, examples, and data about the environment we're in.
So there's now this extra spice to it. And Joanne , what about you? You said it was your father-in-law who had Pearl River, right?
It's filled with a tremendous amount of information, examples, and data about the environment we're in.

Ladies first. So nice to be with you all. My name is Joanne Kwong. I am the president of Pearl River Mart, which is like an Asian wonderland in New York City.
Well, I mean, that's the thing. Everybody from Wilson and Joanne hit upon the same notes that we've all really experienced, which is the fact is that you have to adapt to the newer markets.
It was incredible. We have done, I think, four or five of the world tours. And on the Joanne one we traveled to over 30 cities. And the magic, really, is in the details.
Republic." And in that role, she oversaw more than 3,000 journalists and led the organization to three Pulitzer Prizes. Please help me welcome Joanne Lipman. Thank you. Thanks, Alan.
I remember-- Oh, yeah. And I'm lucky enough to have Joanne and Paul both be part of our cookbooks, along with other Chinatown institutions and businesses.
So, Maya. Thank you guys so much for having us here. And the magic of the Joanne world tour was under Alex Aide's supervision. Alex, in the back, is our Director of Programs.

How about Joanne first? Ladies first. Joanne , OK, Joanne ? Oh. You're always a gentleman.
Let's start with Wilson first. And then we'll work with Paul and Joanne . I think for me, it was very simple for me.
Thank you, Wilson. I'm sure a post-COVID restaurant is going to be really fascinating to build into. And what about you, Joanne ? Yeah. I mean, I think the secret to the longevity of actually all of our businesses, because I know Paul and Wilson,
That's great. Yes. Definitely a good balancing act, I want to say, from old and new. Yeah, Joanne hit it on the mark. Well, 50 to 101.
I like that. I respect that. And what about you, Joanne ? Yeah. I mean, I think if you ask 99% people about gentrification in Chinatowns worldwide, you're going to get 99 different opinions.
I remember-- Oh, yeah. That's wonderful. And Joanne , what about you?

These are the people that you give when a problem needs to be solved because you know that that's the thing that they love. My friend Joanne used to talk about her dad, who was in real estate. And she'd say her father would come into work every morning.
I always like to make sure people know it's in Oakland. What about you, Joanne ? So, I do a lot of different things.
I think we all learn how to filter that stuff out when we're doing what we love, right? Exactly. Joanne , what about you? How did you decide you wanted to be a chef or a cook?
Thank you. You're welcome. Hi, Joanne . Thanks so much for coming today. Curious if you can talk a little bit about your process for testing recipes for a cookbook, and if there's like an average number of times you test,

Thanks for joining us today for this talk. I am very excited to extend a warm welcome to chef Joanne Chang today. Thank you.
Since then, she's opened three other locations, including Fort Point Channel, Central Square, and Back Bay.

But, like I said, this group never generated into true hideousness, because, and here's the most important part, we were not anonymous. We all used our real names, and I'm sure that it's possible that there was some Julie or Joanne who was really a troll named Phillip wearing crusty boxer shorts and a coffee spattered wife beater hunched over his laptop in a cockroach-infested studio apartment in Van Nuys getting off on pretending to be a 28-year-old Mormon woman from Salt Lake expecting her third baby on June 14th, it didn't seem likely. And even

I remember-- Oh, yeah. But without federal help, I agree with Joanne , it's increasingly harder and harder to do business in New York City.
And everything is always, always changing. And not just continue, as Joanne said, to just incrementally improve.
I want to introduce our guest today, Joanne Lipman. She's one of the nation's leading journalists and author of the number one bestseller, "That's What She Said, What Men and Women Need
