Looking for a preshow dinner in downtown DC? [hosted] I recommend @_luckydanger for a fun, innovative meal that won’t break the bank! As a restaurant kid, I admire other folks following in their parents footsteps even when our path there is not always direct 😉

I’m also newly obsessed with Mahjong after learning how to play the Hong Kong style in their Mahjong bar. If anybody wants to learn and play with me, hmu 🤙😘

I had such a fun time during @_luckydanger’s weekly Mahjong Nights! They have a few spots left for their Hong Kong & American style lessons - grab your ticket ASAP #hosted

Last Tuesday, @pootie_ting and I learned how to play Hong Kong style Mahjong and were treated to a lovely dinner afterwards. I love Lucky Danger so much - it’s a place that honors the American-Chinese experience of growing up in the US and serves fusion cuisine that is thoughtful and wonderful. This restaurant is the brainchild of @cheftimma and is the beginning of a Chinatown DC revival that includes folks of Chinese descent!

More about the menu to come but at this point, I’ve tried half of the menu and loved every bite. My must gets are the crab lo mein, crab rangoons, and chongqing chicken 🔥 Check out their lunch and pre-theatre menus for some dining deals

A heads-up if you’re heading to Lucky Danger in Penn Quarter/Chinatown: D Street is blocked at 7th and 8th Streets due to protests and Xi Jinping’s visit.

Our dining room is OPEN, and takeout is available! Allow a little extra time to get here—we’re ready to feed you. See you for lunch or dinner! taken in Penn Quarter by @_luckydanger

Full circle moment. Being born in Arkansas, I never imagined I’d be standing next to President and Secretary Clinton. Grateful to my friend Carolyn Wu, @clintonglobal and @wckitchen for making this week possible. 🙏

When I was a kid there, a brick came through my window just because of the way I looked. Rocks were thrown at me on my way to kindergarten. Those moments have stayed with me. They’re a big part of why I tell the story of being Chinese in America, and why Chinatowns, and the communities they hold in every city, are still so important. But they are dying.

This week I was lucky enough to represent DC’s Chinatown and @lionspathdc at the Clinton Global Initiative. I spent the time being inspired by leaders and organizers in every arena, seeing how a small thought can become a big idea. Chinatowns are one of those big ideas that need help, and I feel so hopeful that we have leaders ready for it.

Take that lunch break. We’ll see you Tuesday–Friday, 11:30am–2pm. taken in Penn Quarter by @_luckydanger
