Johnson & Wales University student Christina Manipon puts the finishing touches on vegetarian pot stickers as part of her contribution to a Chinese New Year buffet served to 78 invited guests including friends, alums and teachers last month.

Ushering in the New Year seems oh so right when it's done with the fresh and varied flavors of vegetable dishes, salad greens dressed with a miso vinaigrette and lotus root chips, combinations of black rice and sweet potato and banana-mango spring rolls for dessert. When it's fresh young chefs coming up with the recipes, that's all the better.


PROVIDENCE, R.I. -- The Liberty Elm Diner, a vintage 1947 diner in Elmwood that the Rhode Island Historical Preservation & Heritage Commission says represents the city's role in creating the modern American diner, was placed in the National Register of Historic Places for its contributions to the history of commerce and architecture.
