Restaurants
Great N.Y. Noodletown The decor is simple and so is the menu, with wonderful soups, noodles, meat dishes, and creatively prepared seafood.
Great N.Y. Noodletown
Joe’s Shanghai The Chinatown branch of the Flushing (Queens) restaurant famous for its soup dumplings (look for steamed buns on the menu). 9 Pell St at Bowery 212 233 8888 No credit cards
Grand Sichuan For the spicy flavors of China’s Sichuan province, this is a no-frills bargain storefront with authentic specialties. 125 Canal St at Broadway 212 625 9212 No credit cards
Fuleen Seafood Fresh,
well-prepared seafood dishes and bargain prices at this Chinatown
favorite. Dungeness crab and lobster appetizers (four ways) are a steal. Golden Unicorn Dim
sum is the star but all the dishes are well prepared in this crowded,
third-floor restaurant. Go in a large group to enable more sampling.
Golden Unicorn
Jing Fong This glittery room is packed daily for the vast selection of dim sum. Just point at your choices as the carts roll by. New Green Bo This busy Shanghai spot is famous for its dumplings. Service is perfunctory, but the lines move quickly. Lombardi’s Pizza doesn’t come much better than at this unpretentious old-timer that turns out delectable thin-crust pies. Da Nico A rustic setting and a wonderful courtyard garden make this family-run restaurant with a dozen varieties of pizza a favorite. Il Palazzo One
of the better choices on Mulberry Street; cozy, candlelit,
non-touristy. The menu includes all the Italian favorites, and the
garden is a summer delight.
