Tonight: Festive Chinese buffet rings in Lunar New Year at Reliable Source
Usher in good fortune and prosperity with an unforgettable evening of culture and cuisine at the Lunar New Year gourmet buffet at the Reliable Source tonight, Jan. 30.
Flavorful dishes, such as spicy sesame noodle salad, garlic shrimp stir-fry and carved Peking duck, and enchanting live music will set the mood. Bing Xia is set to perform on the guzheng (or zheng), a plucked zither with a history spanning over 2,500 years. The guzheng, often called the ancestor of Asian zithers, has evolved from its early 12-string design to the modern instrument with 21 to 25 strings.
The cost for the buffet is $40 per person for Club members, and $50 per person for guests, plus tax and gratuity. Free parking at One Parking (1325 G St. NW) is available for members with a purchase of $35 or more in food and beverage.
