Year of the Dog debuts at Yauatcha

Yauatcha celebrates its first Chinese New Year in Houston with a festive food and art activation that channels the core tenets of the annual celebratory holiday.

The lantern installation — which was created by London-based artist Jamie Julien Brown whose work has been on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City — will be on display throughout the restaurant until March 4.

The posh Chinese dim sum teahouse will also serve a celebratory Chinese New Year menu with dishes inspired by the annual celebration and featuring ingredients that are believed to bring good fortune according to tradition.
