Chinese New Year Takeout for Two, Presented by Luckyrice, American Express, and Resy

By Resy Staff January 28, 2021

In celebration of Lunar New Year, Resy and American Express are offering exclusive curated take-home dinners for two in partnership with Luckyrice.

Lunar New Year is one of the biggest holidays celebrated throughout China, the Chinese diaspora, and much of Asia. This festival commemorates the first new moon of the lunar calendar, and is celebrated with family feasts, lion and dragon dances, fireworks, and the exchange of lucky red envelopes. An emphasis is placed on symbolic foods that are believed to bring health, prosperity, luck, and fortune.

Over the weekend of February 12, Luckyrice has partnered with eight of the top Chinese restaurants in America to curate special take-home dinners to celebrate Chinese New Year. These at-home dining menus will be available exclusively through Resy. To enhance your festivities, guests who purchase will receive a gift tote with every order commemorating the Year of the Ox with special symbolic goodies inside to help you further celebrate and learn more about the holiday at home.
