Year of the Snake Lunar New Year Celebration
All hail the snake! On January 29, the world will recognize Lunar New Year 2025—the Year of the Snake. Marking this auspicious occasion, Blackbird Modern Asian will host a “Snake Charming Celebration” on January 29 (Wednesday) and February 1 (Saturday).
Each zodiac-imbued evening begins when guests arrive at their tables. As stilt walkers and geisha pyro theatric performers move and dance around the room, toast to enlightened days ahead with a “Cobra Kai” cocktail ($16) inspired by the fictitious dojo in The Karate Kid. The gin-infused cocktail tantalizes with banality-battling ingredients like boba, mango, and lychee liqueur.
Executive chef Tim Nickey’s menu is anchored in luck-imbued Pan-Asian favorites ranging from dumplings and eggrolls (wealth) to fish (prosperity) and duck (health and happiness). The executive chef is also preparing Longevity Egg Noodles served with Maine lobster, scallions, ginger, and garlic butter sauce ($65).
Save room for executive pastry chef and two-time “Guy’s Grocery Games” winner Denise Elrod’s dramatic piece de resistance—an ube cheesecake ($16) she shapes like a life-size snake and presents on a rotating acrylic cake stand with dots of tangerine agar, honey-coconut whip, edible flowers, and chocolate “soil” made from Oreo cookie crumbs.
For entertainment, DJ Karina will spin both nights from 5 p.m. to 11 p.m. On Saturday only, Master Li Siu Hung and his award-winning dance teams will dazzle diners with a spectacular dragon dance presentation at 6 p.m. and again at 9 p.m.
Reservations are only accepted for party sizes of 6 or more. Walk-ins are on a first-come, first-served basis only. Seating commences at 4 p.m.
