Chinese New Year

Those who follow the Chinese Lunar Calendar will celebrate the New Year on January 26th. Events in honor of the Year of the Ox will take place all week long at Asian-owned businesses.

In Cleveland, revelers can join the fun at Bo Loong (3922 St. Clair Ave., 216-391-3113), Li Wah (2999 Payne Ave., 216-696-6556), Tom's Seafood (3048 St. Clair Ave., 216-771-1928), Siam Cafe (3951 St. Clair Ave., 216-361-2323) and others. Most AsiaTown restaurants will celebrate the occasion with food and drink specials, festive menus, and the traditional Lion Dance.

FYI: As I was born in the Year of the Goat, I am wholly incompatible with those born in the Year of the Ox.
