How To: Celebrate Lunar New Year with Zooey Miyoshi

How To: Celebrate Lunar New Year with Zooey Miyoshi
Recommendations on where to shop, dine and enjoy the holiday.

We’re taking a look at this festive season through the lens of Zooey Miyoshi (@zooeyinthecity), 8-year-old actress, model and fashion extraordinaire with influences spanning Tokyo to Los Angeles. Being half-Japanese and half-Vietnamese, Zooey shares the traditions she enjoys most, as well as how her family likes to ring in the Lunar New Year.

Keeping with tradition

One of my favorite Lunar New Year traditions is receiving red envelopes with money! I also like to spend time with relatives that I don’t normally see. I get to wear áo dài — a Vietnamese dress — to my relatives’ houses to greet them and receive the envelopes.

My aunties and uncles also let me play Bầu cua tôm cá, a Vietnamese gambling game using three dice. Each side of the die shows a fish, prawn, crab, rooster, gourd or stag. It’s easy, fun and exciting!

All-Time Favorites

To Receive

Red envelopes!

To Eat with Family

I like when my grandma makes pan-fried Bánh chưng, a traditional Vietnamese rice cake.

To Eat at The Grove

Haagen-Dazs and Sprinkles

 

Blue Ribbon Sushi Bar & Grill has different desserts every time we go. Our other favorites include: cheesecake from The Cheesecake Factory, cupcakes from Sprinkles, and the Cookies and Cream flavor from Häagen-Dazs.

HITTING THE SHOPS

We receive a lot of red envelopes, so we can shop afterward.

HITTING THE SHOPS
American Girl Place

 

We love American Girl Place! We visit it every time we go to The Grove. I often buy new outfits and accessories for my American Girl dolls with the money I receive from Lunar New Year.

THE BEST OF THE GROVE
The Cheesecake Factory

 

We’ve always liked stopping by The Grove after auditions and photoshoots a few times each week, even if only to take a break from the traffic. We love grabbing dinner at The Cheesecake Factory with our friends and just hanging out.

Every time we receive an invitation for an event at The Grove, we know it’s going to be awesome!

Favorite Things at The Grove

American Girl Place and Coco at Valet!

Mom's Quick Take
We love the atmosphere, and we love that the moment we drive up to Valet, we are greeted by Coco. The kids like running into the Family Room to play for a while. The Grove is the perfect place to meet up with friends — especially ones who are visiting L.A. from out of town — and the outdoor shopping experience is nice.

7 Ways We’re Keeping the Holidays Safe & Cheerful

7 Ways We’re Keeping the Holidays Safe & Cheerful

Santa Claus and his reindeers flying over a Christmas tree

We know safety matters now more than ever.

That’s why we’ve worked hard to combine The Grove’s beloved holiday traditions with a best-in-class approach to help you and your loved ones feel safe while visiting us.

By order of the State of California and in line with our Health & Safety Standards, face coverings are required of all guests when visiting the property.

Two boys, a woman wearing a face mask

Read ahead to learn 7 other ways we’re keeping our community safe, merry and bright this season.

Caruso cares in blue

1. An Informed Approach

Our approach has been data-driven and informed by the medical community from the start. We have engaged with Neha Nanda, MD, Medical Director of Infection Prevention & Antimicrobial Stewardship at Keck Medicine of USC, to consult on the best practices. We are proud to have a registered nurse on staff as an Infection Preventionist to help ensure we maintain best practices at all times.

 

2. Complimentary Masks

Forgot your face covering at home? No problem. Head over to the desk at Caruso Concierge and we’d be happy to provide you with a complimentary single-use face mask. Our Property Ambassadors also keep masks on-hand, so feel free to approach a member of our team.

 

3. Physical Distancing

Join us for a stroll down First Street or a festive photo op by the Christmas Tree. Our Physical Distancing Ambassadors will be there to gently remind everyone to remain a safe distance apart.

 

4. Cleaning

We’ve increased the frequency of cleaning across our entire property, paying special attention to high touch-point areas like desks, countertops, doors, elevator buttons, handrails and more. All our protocols and products meet EPA-guidelines and are approved for use, and effective against, viruses, bacteria and other airborne pathogens.

 

5. Hand Sanitizer Stations

Contactless hand-sanitizing stations are located throughout the property, so you never have to go without it. Stop by Caruso Concierge for your own complimentary hand sanitizer.

 

6. Fit for Duty

All Caruso employees, contractors and workers are required to check their temperature when entering the workplace. Additionally, the Fit For Duty Form serves as a daily health screening and reminder of our policies.

 

7. Occupancy Limits

Safely check off your wish lists this season with conscious in-store shopping. We have worked with our retailers to ensure that we adhere to local and State occupancy limits, along with visible floor markers for queuing outside stores whenever necessary.

Two christmas bells

Whether you’ve come to shop, grab some delicious food to-go, or simply rejoice in the holiday décor, rest assured that we’re taking care of you.
