It’s Chinese New Year, time to unleash the dragon!! There’s a lot going on throughout the week, like the awesome Toki Underground pop-up with Chef Thang Le of Momofuku Noodle Bar and The Source‘s Scott Drewno (on the 24th and 25th respectively, Toki is actually closed for the New Year on Monday… but it doesn’t matter, both nights sold out very fast.) You can still get your Chinese New Year/Scott Drewno on at Whole Foods P Street. The grocery store will have a dragon dance Monday as well as a cooking demonstration by Chef Drewno (both at 6:30PM). You can also take a more literal approach to the year of the dragon with a screening of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo at the Lincoln Theater followed by cheap chinese take-out at Dragon Express on 7th and U. The film only runs until the 26th! Then celebrate at Ping Pong Dim Sum throughout the week.
TUESDAY JANUARY 24
Not only is it $2.5 margaritas and half price bottles of wine at U Street’s Ulah Bistro, but they are also hosting the launch party for D.C.’s newest international, art, lifestyle, business and fashion magazine, Ça Va magazine. A suggested $5 donation is required at the door for the benefit of St. Jude Children’s hospital and there will be a fashion show by designer Katya Leoncio of La Dolce Vita Swimwear, international house beats and light complementary hors-d’oeuvres. The event will be held on the 2nd floor, RSVP to Amanda Minnie at rsvp@cavamagazine.com. Also, the Oscar nominations are announced that morning, so I myself will be busy compiling my annual list of spot to watch all the potential winners 😉
