On the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, tradition turns its focus to people. Renri (人日) — the Birthday of Humanity— marks the day the goddess Nuwa is believed to have created humankind, a moment that celebrates life, unity and the simple fortune of being here together. At 24 Suns, the evening unfolds as a dining room–wide birthday. Every guest is welcomed with a candle and birthday cake soft serve — a small, joyful ritual shared by all. The experience is anchored by the restaurant’s seven-course Lunar New Year tasting menu, a number chosen for its auspicious meaning. Each course carries intention for the year ahead — prosperity, balance, renewal and longevity — expressed through the winter microseason of Southern California. The meal begins with Yi Sangh (Prosperity Salad), the vibrant Lunar New Year salad traditionally lifted high with chopsticks to invite abundance and good fortune. It continues with the dramatic 17-foot longevity noodle, passed and shared at the table, its unbroken length symbolizing a long and flourishing life. (Tip of the iceberg, the full menu is lip smacking) Lunar New Year is the turning of the calendar and the beginning of the first solar term — a time to move forward with clarity and purpose. In the Year of the Fire Horse, a symbol of vitality, transformation and momentum, this day becomes a reminder that the new year is not only about fortune, but about people — the community gathered around the table. For one evening, every guest is celebrated. Every wish is made at once. And the act of dining becomes a shared beginning. Reservations at OpenTable.

The Besos Jazz Trio has been stirring up audiences with vibrant performances of music and dance since 2017. These worldly performers are a study in balancing traditions. With roots in Mexican ballet folklórico, Claudia Gomez plays percussion and tap dances. Evona Wascinski, from Poland, brings a classical virtuosity to the upright bass. Beston Barnett, a Nashville native, plays manouche guitar and sings in five languages. “We keep it loose but alive; we leave space for what each of us does best,” says Wascinski. Together, they improvise, sing, and dance their way through an eclectic mix of swing tunes, sambas, boleros, and musettes.
