I don't think I ever ate there but could be wrong. There are so many restaurants I'm certain I don't remember half of them. I used to work downtown and Chinatown was a frequent place to go for lunch. Good food and good prices. I often went with a couple of Chinese gentlemen I worked with. We'd go to places most Americans never try. Everything was written in Chinese. My friends would order and I'd trust their judgement. I learned to never ask what I was eating until I finished the meal.
Good times. I could go on and on about my experiences in Chinatown, one of my favorite neighborhoods in NYC. Hmmmm, maybe I'll go down there for lunch tomorrow!
Going to NYC this weekend with our kids, who used to live in Brooklyn. They want to go to Chinatown for some shopping. Can you suggest a good restaurant in the part where all the you-know-what stalls are?
