New York City's Most Iconic Foods—and Where to Get Them | Condé Nast Traveler

"I’m a soup dumpling connoisseur and have tried my best over the years to taste dozens of different restaurants’ versions of these delicious bites, yet somehow, I continue to come back to Joe’s Shanghai. The perfectly crafted soup dumpling features a thin yet sturdy dumpling skin, flavorful meat, and piping hot broth. Here, that’s exactly what you’ll find. There’s nothing like that initial burst of taste when you pop the first dumpling in your mouth, still hot from the bamboo steamer. While I’m partial to the classic pork version that truly lets the flavors shine (why mess with success?), there’s also a crab and pork option for those who desire it." - Kat Chen
