Food Adventuring Around NYC
My search for the best dumplings in New York continues…. Certain foods just work better when they’re dirty and cheap. I know that sounds wrong, but after trying the “cleaned-up” dumplings at Mimi Cheng’s, I realize this is so true.
My search for the best dumplings in New York continues…. SADLY, TIANJIN DUMPLING HOUSE IS NOW CLOSED. Tianjin Dumpling House has been operating in Golden Mall for a few years now, but it’s only recently (once they changed their name) that they began to get as much press as their famous neighbors. I am just …
My search for the best dumplings in New York continues…. SADLY, LAM ZHOU HANDMADE NOODLE IS NOW CLOSED. Based on its name, you’d think the speciality of the house at Lam Zhou Handmade Noodle would be noodles. And you’d be right. That’s mostly why I didn’t rush here during my official dumpling search. I had enjoyed …
Every week, I document another dish that impressed and satiated me during my food adventures around New York City SADLY, LAM ZHOU HANDMADE NOODLE IS NOW CLOSED.

Every week, I document another dish that impressed and satiated me during my food adventures around New York City Thanks to the response from my recent Christmas video, I got a request to make dumplings for Christmas Eve this year. That’s right, this year we didn’t go out for Chinese food, I cooked it. I …
Every week, I document another dish that impressed and satiated me during my food adventures around New York City Fried chicken drumsticks. Dumplings. Cupcakes. Slushies. What a strange collection of dishes on one menu. A perfect name for this fast food joint nestled inside Chelsea Market would be “Hybrid”. And that’s what I had been …
My search for the best dumplings in New York continues…. SADLY, STEAM DUMPLINGS IS NOW CLOSED. What did we do before the internet? How would I have discovered and felt confident to walk into Savor Fusion Food Court if others hadn’t told me to? It’s located a bit south from the hulabaloo of Roosevelt Avenue in …
My search for the best dumplings in New York continues…. SADLY, PANDA DUMPLING HOUSE IS NOW CLOSED. Most of the cheap restaurants in Chinatown feel like such institutions. They’re old, no frills, and authentic. Especially on Eldridge, both Prosperity and Vanessa’s have had the market on dumplings for so long that it’s hard to imagine a …
For the third year in a row, I’m going to attempt to eat every single item on Time Out New York’s annual 100 Best Dishes list. In no particular order, here’s my take on their Top 100. Let the gluttony continue… Hip and classic restaurants like Brooklyn Farmacy and Torrisi Italian Specialities really link present food …

For the third year in a row, I’m going to attempt to eat every single item on Time Out New York’s annual 100 Best Dishes list. In no particular order, here’s my take on their Top 100. Let the gluttony continue… When you think Chinese food in this country, you very rarely think farm fresh and …
My search for the best dumplings in New York continues…. We had an amazing and unique meal at Fu Run, a rare restaurant serving Chinese food from the Dongbei region. It’s in perhaps my favorite culinary neighborhood (Flushing, Queens) and we were brought here because Time Out listed an incredible dessert on their list. Look …
I’ve devoured Time Out’s 100 Best dishes and now, once again, I’ve been inspired to create my own list. These are the 100 dishes I have continued to think about since tasting them at some point in 2011. Look for another five dishes every few days. These are in no particular order. NUMBER 60: DUMPLINGS …
For my dumpling search, I pretty much hung out in three specific neighborhoods: Sunset Park, Brooklyn; Flushing, Queens; and Chinatown in Manhattan. They all have a large Chinese population so much so that sometimes you forget you’re not in an Asian country. There were a handful of other neighborhoods that had dumpling houses, but these …
Sooner or later, it was bound to happen. Anybody who knows me knows that I’m not the most organized and careful person in the world, and so my gadgets (and clothes) tend to break or rip. And eventually it happened with my camera. Except it didn’t break (as far as I know), but rather fell …

The sign reads “Dumplings” with a few Chinese characters above it. I wonder what this place sells. My guess would be steamed and fried dumplings. Turns out I’m only half right. Dumplings, or more officially Jin Mei Dumplings is another cheap dumpling storefront in the heart of Chinatown. This one is a little off the …
If you spend much time in the East Village, you know that yes, it’s an eclectic food scene but it’s specifically overwhelmed with Asian eateries. Everywhere you turn on or around St. Marks Place, you’ll see Japanese izakayas, bubble tea shops, ramen noodle bars, even the occasional Asian dessert spot (one even called Spot). Not …
A few months ago I wrote about what I thought was Fried Dumplings on Allen Street. Well, that joint was at one time called Fried Dumplings, still bears the sign, and was the original of a two storefront business. That location closed last year and re-opened shortly before my visit displaying the subtitle, “Inexpensive Delicacies …
It’s been a long time coming, but here is Episode Four: When Adam doesn’t return his phone calls, Brian searches for a new sidekick to document the search for NY’s best dumplings. He finds somebody who looks like the perfect replacement. But looks can be deceiving.
