The impending Luckyrice Festival is an 11-day celebration of Asian food and culinary culture, featuring some of the most talented chefs in town. Events include a "conversation" between chefs David Chang and Eric Ripert on Buddhist ethics and food; a dumpling-making workshop with chef Anita Lo; an afternoon tea and dessert pairing hosted by chef Pichet Ong; and a "specially-designed (and priced)" Pan-Asian restaurant and bar week (May 3rd-9th), featuring tasting menus at participating restaurants selected by the Luckyrice Culinary Council. The festivities commence Thursday night at the Bowery Hotel's open-air second floor lounge, where $50 gets you three hours of drinks inspired by Asian drinking traditions and curated by Albert Trummer, who runs the Chinatown "speakeasy" Apothéke. And on Friday night chef Chang and others to host Night Market in the Manhattan Bridge Archway in DUMBO, featuring Malaysian hawker foods that draw upon the cuisine's Chinese, Malay and Indian influences. Individual tickets to Night Market are sold out, but you can still get in with the purchase of a Luckyrice Festival Passport.
