Feb. 13, 2013 - PRLog -- Atlanta-based Tin Drum Asiacafe (http://www.tindrumcafe.com) will share traditional Chinese New Year festivities with guests at its 12 southeastern locations this year, deemed the Year of the Black Snake by ancient Chinese tradition.

Tin Drum founder Steven Chan is launching the celebration to share childhood traditions from his native Hong Kong with guests.

“Chinese New Year is a celebration of a ‘new beginning’ and is centered around family, friends and abundant food,” said Chan. “I want to share all of these wonderful traditions with our guests – who are family – with a Tin Drum feast, which is thought to bring long life, prosperity and good health.”

Through March 31st, Tin Drum’s locations will offer more than just traditional Chinese fare. Restaurant staff will wear the lucky color red along with armbands touting Nian, the monster dragon. Red will also be used throughout the café, wishing guests good fortune, health, happiness or longevity.

Showcased menu items will include Tin Drum’s street-inspired take on traditional dishes including Mango Stir Fry, which has a sweet n spicy flavor that best describes the fiery celebration of Chinese new year, or enjoy a Sing Chow Men noodle dish that symbolize long healthy life!
