LUCKYRICE 6TH Anniversary Grand Feast hosted by BOMBAY SAPPHIRE East

LUCKYRICE 6TH Anniversary Grand Feast hosted by BOMBAY SAPPHIRE East

After five years of increasing hype and sold-out events in NYC, LA, Las Vegas, SF, Miami and (for the very first time this year) Chicago, it's time for the biggest party in LUCKYRICE's history! With this year's Grand Feast, the nation’s preeminent celebration of Asian food and cocktail culture salutes New York -- the city where it all started. This Grand Feast will be a "greatest hits" of the most exciting and innovative concepts, dishes and craft cocktails from the Festival's half-decade history. Asian fine dining, night market street food and all points in between will be featured, representing different regional cuisines throughout the continent.

Wine, sake, beer and signature Bombay Sapphire EAST cocktails – like the exotic “Feeling Sheep(ish)” elixir created to honor the Year of the Sheep – will be served throughout the epicurean extravaganza
