Symbolism plays an important role in the tradition of Lunar New Year.  Reunion of families, successful careers, prosperous businesses, and prospects for a bright future are just some of the most common elements to wish for to kick off the Lunar New Year.  Moreover, having good health is vital to enjoying all the good fortune. LunarFest is introducing the Longevity Noodles which come with onion sauce (happiness), preserved radish (luck), green onion (intelligence), meatball (union) and red pepper (blessed) – all the signs for a healthy year to come.  Be sure to take a moment to slurp up the Longevity Noodles to begin the Year of the Rat!
