*GRR* I can't spell in pinyin...
Is there going to be a "practice, conversational Chinese ride?" I think we could put together a decent sized group for that!

If we head East we could go to xiao long bao... (I know it's a long trek for us Westside peeps, but totally worth it!)

Well if we leave from Scoops for Din Tai Fung in Arcadia (dintaifungusa.com,) it works out to 42 miles. Westside peeps could make this into a Metric Century pretty easily. How's the Sunday, Jan. 25th, 2009? The day before Chinese New Year's? If we want to be gluttons/masochists, we can stop at Vietnam House off of Las Tunas for Pho...

I don't think either of these restaurants offer much in the way of vegetarian food though... =/
Thoughts about the route and/or restaurant? To be safe, we should roll out at 7pm b/c last call for dumplings is just before 9pm.

re: Vegetarian. Don't many buddhists go vegetarian for the New Year, or am I mistaken? If so, I'm thinking the Chinese restaurant might have a veggie spread going on for the occasion. Of course., all the shops in Vietnam close for Tet, so it would be funny to roll out to a closed eatery.
