Had so much fun with
@johnelliottcbs talking about Lunar New Year! The veteran meteorologist came to our Soho store for a Lunar New Year-edition of his
@cbsnewyork Sunday morning show, during which we shared fun facts about the Chinese zodiac, the Year of the Horse personality, the importance of wearing new clothes, and other Lunar New Year traditions.
He also had one-on-one time with:
🍊
@pearlrivermart President
@msjojokwong , who gave an overview of lucky foods and what they mean as well as 2026 predictions according to the Pocket Chinese Almanac
🥟 Cookbook author and James Beard finalist Christine Wong
@thevibrantveggietable , who shared even more auspicious eats and imparted a dumpling pleating lesson
🧧 Red Envelope Show creator and curator Albert Chau
@grumpybert , who talked about his longtime show and red envelope do’s and don’ts
🫰
