Come celebrate the Year of the Rat this week with us at an old favorite restaurant of the group. If you were born in 1924, 1936, 1948, 1960, 1972, 1984, 1996, your Chinese zodiac animal is the rat, the first of all Chinese zodiac animals. If you were born in the year of the Rat, don’t take it as an insult — in Chinese culture, rats are seen as a sign of wealth and surplus. Because of their reproduction rate, married couples also prayed to them for children. In terms of the Chinese Yin and Yang theory, a Rat is Yang.
Land of Plenty is Michelin Guide recommended and listed as the inspector’s favorite: “Why do they call it Land of Plenty? Perhaps it’s the abundant flavors amongst the plentiful reasons. And although the focus here is definitely the food, this fiery haven feels more elegant than the other Szechuan spots in midtown. Tucked into a sleek, subterranean space, the décor features marble floors and mosaic-tile walls. A professional service staff helps further set the tone.” We will have a huge Chinese feast with a wide range and variety of different foods. Come hungry. This was a favorite restaurant of our founder Art Fischer who noted that if the restaurant is full of Asians, this means that it has to be a great and authentic restaurant. Gong Hey Fat Choy! (That’s “Happy New Year!” in Chinese.)
