We're partnering with Sugary, Chinatown Social, and Dumpling Dude for a MASSIVE Lunar New Year potluck with a program of lion dancing, a dumpling making led by the one and only Dumpling Dude Lenny, and select vendors to enjoy! Each contribution is designed around a core Horse-year quality—inviting guests to eat with intention and step into 2026 together for huge celebration of momentum, courage, and forward motion. ​Lunar Hard Seltzer, Dirty Water, & Wild Mannered will all be providing complementary libations for the evening, including various food vendors such as Rose's Pineapple Shorts and Nine Treasures Creamery.

Movement & Flow ​Liquids that symbolize momentum, adaptability, and life in motion ​Anything that pours, simmers, or stirs—meant to warm, loosen, and carry us forward, with flavors that feel both transporting and unexpected. ​Examples: – Brothy soups & stews – Exotic tonics – Flowing cocktails & non-alcoholic elixirs ​To move freely is to trust the path. ​2. New Beginnings & Vitality ​Eggs and greens as symbols of renewal, growth, and fresh energy ​Dishes that speak to life restarting, strength returning, and the courage to begin again. ​Examples: – Tea eggs, omelets, egg-forward small plates – Herbal, green vegetable-forward, or restorative dishes ​Every beginning carries its own quiet power. ​3. Opportunity & Success ​Wrapped foods representing fortune, protection, and possibility ​Encased, folded, or bundled—these dishes honor the idea of opportunity held and ready to unfold. ​Examples: – Dumplings, wontons, baos – Wrapped or stuffed bites ​Good fortune favors those prepared to receive it. ​4. Power & Passion ​Bold, spicy, expressive flavors ​This category invites courage, intensity, and heat—fuel for ambition and emotional truth. ​Examples: – Spicy, pepper-forward, or deeply seasoned dishes – Anything unapologetically bold ​Passion propels the Horse forward. ​5. Beauty ​Desserts as offerings of joy, grace, and visual delight ​Because beauty isn’t indulgence—it’s affirmation. These dishes are meant to be admired as much as enjoyed. ​Examples: – Sculptural desserts – Colorful, elegant, or ornate sweets ​Beauty reminds us why the journey matters. Look forward to celebrating with all of you! _______________________________ DISCLAIMER: This is a shared meal prepared by various guests.
