​🥟 Dumpling Lovers Unite! 🥟

​It’s been way too long since our last Chinatown Dumpling Crawl (2023, can you believe it?!), so we’re bringing it back—and this time, we’re celebrating AAPI Heritage Month with a feast of epic proportions.

​✨ What’s AAPI Month All About?

​May is Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month—a time to recognize, uplift, and honor the countless contributions AAPI communities have made to American history, culture, and cuisine (hello, dumplings 🙌).

​🥟 Dumpling Crawl Details

​🗓️ Saturday, May 31st
📍 NYC Chinatown (exact meting location TBD)
🎯 3–4 dumpling spots. We will be at each spot for about 45-60mins.
💸 Pay-as-you-go (eat a little, eat a lot—it’s up to you!)

​We’ll stroll, snack, and socialize with fellow dumpling enthusiasts. Bring your appetite and your best food-sharing energy—this crawl is about community, carbs, and making new friends.

​💛 Giving Back While Filling Up

​In honor of AAPI Month, we’re using this crawl to raise funds for an incredible NYC-based non-profit: Heart of Dinner.

​What they do:
Heart of Dinner fights food insecurity and isolation among Asian American elders by delivering culturally appropriate meals and groceries—packaged with handwritten love notes in their native languages. It’s thoughtful, it’s nourishing, and it’s a beautiful way to care for our community’s most overlooked members.

​💸 Want to Support Heart of Dinner? Here's How:
Whether you're joining the dumpling crawl or cheering us on from afar, you can still make a difference!
