best dumplings nyc
I would say that there is no wrong way to wrap a noodle around savory, juicy meat. Boiled or fried, filled with vegetables, meat, shrimp, or a combination of sorts. They are the perfect late night food and hangover cure. Chinatowns in Manhattan, Flushing & Sunset Park are filled with some of the best food outside of Asia and you aren't limited to just those neighborhoods. Below are some of the best little flavor packages that the city has to offer.
