Raid the toy box to set the table for your Lunar New Year feast. That’s more or less what Sean Tang did. He’s an owner of Pinch, a welcoming dim sum (and more) restaurant in SoHo where Legos are used as chopstick rests. He’s a Lego fan and was looking for an unexpected detail, and the result, in collaboration with others involved in the restaurant, was an inspired choice: The tiny bumps on the blocks keep the chopsticks from rolling off.
Pinch Chinese, 177 Prince Street (Sullivan Street), 212-328-7880, pinchchinese.com.
