Kick off the Year of the Dragon with Bejing duck, black sesame kouign amain, and more
The Year of the Dragon arrives on February 10, and with it comes a bevy of celebrations with family and friends. There are several events, pop-ups, and fairs leading up to the big day, and it’s also a great opportunity to make time for a special meal in San Francisco’s Chinatown or to pick up a special dessert to enjoy. Here are some of the best Lunar New Year events around San Francisco.
Make reservations at these restaurants
Z&Y Restaurant in Chinatown is celebrating the holiday with a special menu featuring dishes such as Szechuan-style chicken, salt and pepper crab, and fish filet with flaming chile oil. But there’s another reason for celebration for the Z&Y family, as the restaurant expands to include Z&Y Peking Duck, located across the street from the original restaurant. The duck-centric restaurant will offer a feast of “contemporary Beijing-inspired dishes” feeding 8-10 people for $680. The dinner will of course include duck, as well as other items such as miso sea bass and clay pot braised lamb ribs.
