This Lunar New Year promises to be unusually quiet, with no festive San Francisco Chinatown parade and no big feasts at bustling banquet restaurants.
Despite the lack of large gatherings during the pandemic, it is still possible to celebrate the holiday with traditional dishes via takeout from local restaurants. Some are offering special multi-course Lunar New Year feasts, scaling down the typical banquet experience for smaller parties at home. Other chefs are preparing more modern dishes and desserts, like sesame chocolate in the shape of an ox, the coming year’s Chinese zodiac.
