Oriental celebrates the Chinese New Year with a Dragon Run on Saturday February 17. At 2p, The sinuous dragon and team are bringing on the Year of the Dog. (We’ve been in the Year of the Rooster.)

Other events that day cemter on food; Peter Chang of the Great Wall Restaurant in Grantsboro will fire up a wok at the Oriental Farmers’ Market. His 9-11a wok cooking demo will also cover how to buy and season a wok. Meanwhile, eateries in Oriental are featuring Asian touches on their menus Saturday. Sushi at M&M’s; Chicken teriyaki at the Piglet’s Dragon Cafe; dumplings at Brantley’s; egg rolls and sweet & sour chicken at O’Town; Kung Pao chicken at the Toucan. At the New Village Brewery there’s a brew and brush session – painting a dragon. Scenes from last year’s Asian New Year, here.
