We're back with our #BLESSED Lao New Year Pop-Up Dinner series! To celebrate Lao New Year 2561 our specially invited guests include Chef Phet Schwader of Khe-yo Restaurant in New York City, Nana Sanavongsay of Cooking With Nana from California, and Itsara Ounnarath of White Tiger Distillery in Maryland, all sharing a dish* and telling their stories.

In keeping with tradition guests will enjoy a Lao dining experience of:

  • multi-course dishes served community style, while sitting on the floor with shoes off

  • soma, a forgiveness ceremony will take place before dinner

  • pakwon available for guests to tie wrists threads and give their own blessings

  • old school mor lum karaoke music video jams playing the celebration soundtrack

Taking place at Fleisher Art Memorial, on Saturday May 12th 2018, from 6:30-9PM.

*While "vegetarian" options are available, we are following traditional Lao recipes which include fish sauce. A menu will be shared as the date gets closer.
