May Liu, the indomitable owner of M Shanghai Bistro & Garden in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, has been hosting a Chinese New Year's Eve party for 13 years now. The party—which we visited for the first time last year—can be best described as a no-holds-barred approach to a Chinese banquet. Madame Liu takes no shortcuts in providing her guests and employees with anything they could possibly want to eat or drink for the night.
