We Say...

In 2013 the Chinese Lunar New Year hits the Gregorian Calendar on Feb. 10, which is a Sunday, which gives you all day to do traditional Chinese stuff for the New Year, such as buy presents and clean the house with an eye toward a good final sweep to push out any bad fortune (c’mon, it wouldn’t hurt), and then head over to the Walters to enjoy some Year of the Snake action with an opportunity to make some art, watch performances by the Johns Hopkins University Lion Dance Troupe and the Baltimore Chinese School, and, of course, view William and Henry Walter’s fine collection of Chinese art. After that, we suggest you go to a Chinese restaurant and try and score some chao nian gao. (Joe Mac???)
