Woks & Lox Asian/Jewish Christmas Dinner in Astoria

Just saw on Gothamist that Queens Kickshaw will be hosting a Christmas Eve Dinner for the holiday's outcasts, Asians and Jews. They're calling the event "Woks and Lox" and will feature Chinese chef Chichi Wang.

In addition to the food of both cultures, they'll have:

A Chinese auction
Mah Jong
A Bar Mitzvah-esque sign-in board
And lots more Jewish and Asian-inspired fun while throwing down some He’Brew and Fresh Ginger Ale by Bruce Cost.

The event is the brainchild of WLA member, Jeff Orlick and Veronica Chan. Great work, guys!

For more info on the event, go here.
