FESTIVAL: Ping Pong Dim Sum’s
Dragon Boat Festival kicks off tonight—that means for every “beer boat” order of six or ten Tsingtaos, you’ll get a second boat free. At the
Dupont location, there’s also a sticky rice, or
zongzi, demonstration, where you can learn to make your own sticky stuff. In Chinatown, there’s a big rubber ducky race with prizes.
Free. 5 PM.
