"Happy Year of the Fire Horse! It's the best time of the year to head to Chinatown and soak in all the celebratory energy (🧨) and festive décor (🏮) and culinary delights (🥟), but there are folks making special Lunar New Year treats all over the City-take a look at last week's LNY post for ideas (supporting subscribers: did you see the pineapple jade stone I included?)."
"Last night, I was wishing I could go out for a Lunar New Year dinner, but since I was stuck at my desk on deadline, I ordered some of my favorite takeout from Gourmet Carousel on Franklin: their top-notch scallion pancake (one of my top three in SF-and certainly the City's best deal at just $4, I kid you not!), their excellent pot stickers (fried just-golden and they're not too doughy), wonton soup... [supporting subscribers get a solid pro tip], and honey-walnut prawns."
Valentine's Day, Lunar New Year, a new moon, a solar eclipse, Mardi Gras, Ramadan, Ash Wednesday, and torrential rain coincided over a three-day weekend. Chinatown offered celebratory energy, festive décor, and culinary delights, while Lunar New Year treats appeared across the City. Gourmet Carousel on Franklin serves homestyle takeout: a top-notch scallion pancake, excellent pot stickers, wonton soup, and honey-walnut prawns, with generous portions, freshness, speed, and great value. Rainy weather invited a vintage-film binge featuring Linklater's Nouvelle Vague, Godard's Breathless, and the campy 1970s Mahogany as part of Black History Month viewing.
