"New York City’s popular hand-pulled noodle chain Xi’an Famous Foods will reopen five of its stores over the next two weeks, CEO Jason Wang tells Time Out. The company’s original restaurant in Flushing will reopen for takeout orders of its hand-pulled noodles this Friday, as will its Upper East Side storefront on East 78th Street. Looking ahead, Xi’an Famous Foods plans to reopen stores in the West Village and Downtown Brooklyn next week, as well. The company’s Woodside outpost — which is attached to the kitchen where it makes its chile oil and meal kits — previously reopened on July 10, according to an announcement on the restaurant’s website. Orders at all of the reopened locations are being limited to pre-order pick-up, and none of the stores will accept cash, Time Out reports." - Luke Fortney
