CHINWA — Chefs Li and George
About —
Food tells the story of who we are. Chinwa means “Chinese” in Haitian Creole, a word that carries the history of migration, culture, and survival in places like New Orleans — where Chinese and Creole flavors came together and created something new.
This pop-up is that spirit alive again.
Two chefs, two journeys:
George — Black + Chinese roots, cooking through the lens of memory and heritage.
Li — proudly Chinese, honoring tradition while pushing flavor forward.
Together, they’re serving a menu that celebrates both sides, blending Southern soul and Chinese depth.

The Color of Pomegranates (1969) – Film Screening and Soundtrack Listening
About —
A breathtaking fusion of poetry, ethnography, and cinema, Sergei Parajanov’s masterwork overflows with unforgettable images and sounds. In a series of tableaux that blend the tactile with the abstract, The Color of Pomegranates revives the splendors of Armenian culture through the story of the eighteenth-century troubadour Sayat-Nova, charting his intellectual, artistic, and spiritual growth through iconographic compositions rather than traditional narrative. The film’s tapestry of folklore and metaphor departed from the realism that dominated the Soviet cinema of its era, leading authorities to block its distribution, with rare underground screenings presenting it in a restructured form. This edition features the cut closest to Parajanov’s original vision, in a restoration that brings new life to one of cinema’s most enigmatic meditations on art and beauty. (Criterion Collection)
We’ll also be playing Nicolas Jaar’s Unsanctioned ‘Pomegranates’ Film Score, an alternate soundtrack to the film.

Muse – Late Night Tea
About Muse —
The space between what was, and what could be.
No big sign. No scripted greeting. Just a subtle glow at the edge of night and the new year, quietly pulling you in.
This is Muse Late Night Tea: a Muse’s version of a night cap as monthly late night tea pop-up that leaves the usual social cues outside and invites you to settle into something a little less predictable.
And the teas? They’re not just a menu—they’re small acts of rebellion. Herbal and cardamom blends that cut through the dark, floral infusions that ask you to slow down, sip, and notice what’s right in front of you.
No one’s rushing. Voices stay low, the night feels long, and you can just be. This isn’t about putting on a show. It’s about tasting connection on your own terms, rethinking what a late-night gathering can mean, and savoring the space between what was and what could be.

Nightshades – Dessert & Cocktails by Bite Back & Ransom
About —
Simone Forte (Ransom) is teaming up with her sis Jessica Forte (Bite Back) for a decadent night of drinks and desserts.
“My sister and I love desserts. Most people look at a menu and go straight to reading the savory. We always ask about the desserts first. Sweet tooth logic. Dessert is the encore, the mic drop, thing you dream about before bed. Why is it sometimes treated as an afterthought. Now, hear me out:
think of a place where dessert isn’t just the finale — it’s the whole damn show. Cakes, custards, cookies, ice creams that make you question your life choices (in the best way). And because we’re adults now — Cocktails.
Not a bakery. Not a bar. A Dessert Bar. Because life is short, and dinner was probably mid anyway.
