Lion Dance wiv me

Rice Paper Scissors‘ monthlong Lunar New Year celebration continues this Friday at the legendary Verdi Club! Here’s what’s up:

Growing up, the Lunar New Year meant dinner with the family and lots of li xi (both great things.) But why not celebrate the Lunar New Year like you would for the January New Year?

It’ll be everything you know and love about the Lunar New Year: red envelopes, traditional dress and new year foods — but done with a modern take.

Red envelopes will be filled with Asian candy. Attendees are encouraged to dress in their best ao dai or cheongsam to sport in the photobooth. Vietnamese street food snacks will be available purchase.

The best part? Professional lion dancers will come join the dance party — all combining our favorite Lunar New Year traditions starting Year of the Snake our way.

Let’s party, B! Tickets, menu details and more right here.

RSVP and invite your friends!

Now let’s watch the Rice Paper Scissors team’s take on the Harlem Shake:

    Makes me wish that we could return to “Twistin’ the Night Away.”

    What do the people of Harlem say about naming an inconsequential movement after their fair neighborhood?
    In 12 minutes I’m going to post a video that by day’s end will go viral with 2,439,046 views. It will consist of nothing more than my ring finger wagging to the beat of Parkou and the Zipper-Eaters.
