Happy Holidays everyone! I made this video to tell Santa Claus all the things I want for Christmas, but I have my doubts that he will ever show up.

There are a number of reasons not to eat at Shanghai Café (now called Shanghai Café Deluxe) on Mott Street.

Two of my weakest subjects in school were history and geography. While I think both are fascinating (I love old movies and I love to study maps), I have a bit of ADD and I tend to lose interest very quickly. So I was baffled when I recently learned that Taiwan is a part of …
SADLY, ETON IS NOW CLOSED. I tend to think it’s a problem when the innards of a dumpling fall out of the skin and never quite make it into your mouth. Unless you have some bad chopstick skills, this is something that should be dealt with in the making of the little pillows. And while I …

A dear friend of mine was in town and we decided to meet up for some dumplings. She was one of my eating buddies for many years until she moved away to Ohio. Who moves to Ohio? I was excited to see her and to get another sampling of soup dumplings. I picked the new …
