It’s the Lunar New Year! To celebrate the Year of the Horse, Cornell NorCal and the Cornell Asian Alumni Association are bringing together alumni in the Bay Area for a fun dining experience.

Dim sum is a meal that literally means “touch the heart.” A wide variety of traditional dishes will be the backdrop for reconnecting and reminiscing about shared experiences with your fellow alumni.

The Grand Palace Restaurant is a dim sum tea house specializing in authentic Cantonese cooking. We will enjoy a pre-planned lunch menu, tea, and dessert, served family style. Other food and drinks ordered by a diner will be the responsibility of the diner.

This event is the perfect way to socialize with your new and old friends, create new memories, strengthen your bonds with Cornell, and savor the rich flavors of an exquisite lunch.
