2/15 Lunar New Year Dumpling Party
Let’s fold dumplings, share abundance & welcome the Lunar New Year together!
In many cultures, dumplings represent abundance, prosperity, and the welcoming of good fortune. Join us on Sunday, Feb. 15th at Little Chef Little Cafe as we gather to create abundance in the Year of the Fire Horse.
Let’s gather to fold some delicious dumplings, mix our own dipping sauces, and enjoy eating family-style. Extra dumplings will be boxed and donated to community fridges in Queens, Brooklyn, and Manhattan to spread the abundance.
No dumpling-making experience needed - beginners are very welcome! This multicultural gathering is about doing something relaxing and fun together, sharing food, enjoying each other’s company, and contributing something uplifting to our community this winter.
