New Year, New Blessings. We're back again - to eat on the saht with you and wrap your wrists with well wishes, then tell our stories before inviting you into our lumvong circle. An old ritual with new friends.
In the words of our favorite hillbilly, Happy Pee Mai! We joined forces with designer Tony Innouvong to get it in at as many Lao New Year festivals along the East Coast this time around. We're trying all the foods of course, but also capturing the stories and sharing in the celebrations with new friends. Stay tuned to see what adventure each temple had to offer us for year 2559.

Our favorite holiday to end and begin all holidays - Lao New Year! Yes we know that the official date takes place mid-April but have our people ever been on time? This party, aptly named #BLESSED is taking place on Saturday May 7th in Philly and includes some good friends of ours, Manila and Kris of #IEatLaoFood!
Details are still being finalized but we hear there'll be old school Lao karaoke jams, a monk to officiate a water blessing, and lots of eating delicious Lao on the floor while getting to know your neighbor's spice level. We hope to see you then - so mark your calendars and save that date!
