Updated: Jan. 26, 2024 While we’ve just celebrated the start of 2024, in just a few weeks — on Saturday, Feb. 10 to be exact — we’ll be commemorating the start of the Lunar New Year, specifically the **Year of the Dragon**. Lunar New Year is one of the Asian community’s most important holidays, a two-week-long celebration known as the Spring Festival. With auspicious foods and [superstitions](https://chinesenewyear.net/) galore, it’s a wonderful time to be around a table with loved ones. So, consider the two-week span in February as your designated time to eat your way through Chinatown’s numerous family-owned restaurants, as well as many other incredible spots throughout the city. Lunar New Year is celebrated in Vietnam, Korea, Malaysia, and beyond, too, after all. Here are some restaurants doing some exciting Lunar New Year happenings this year, as well as classic standbys always worth paying a visit. And for more inspiration on where to dine in Chinatown all year-round, we’ve got you covered, too: From [Flushing in Queens](https://blog.resy.com/2020/08/the-resy-guide-to-flushing-chinatown-by-those-who-love-it-best/) and [Sunset Park in Brooklyn](https://blog.resy.com/2020/11/the-ultimate-guide-to-brooklyns-chinatown-according-to-stephanie-shih/) to [Manhattan Chinatown](https://blog.resy.com/2022/09/where-to-eat-manhattan-chinatown-new-york/).

And on Feb. 9 and 10, alongside their usual [à la carte menu](https://blog.resy.com/2023/05/53-nyc/), they’ll also have dinner specials like yusheng, roasted duck breast wraps, and whole steamed fish supreme soy. On Sunday, Feb. 11, they’re debuting dim sum brunch from noon to 2:30 p.m. Bonus: And throughout the weekend, if you really want to splurge, you can purchase a limited-edition dragon decanter ($350 each) that is used for the restaurant’s large-format Year of the Green Dragon punch service.
