Favorite Places to Eat and Drink Around NYC This Summer | Eater NY

"I’m of the mindset that spicy foods help cool you off in summer, and one of my go-tos has been Dun Huang in Jersey City: an always-crowded, retro-designed Chinese diner (one of multiple locations) tucked next to the ground floor of a Miami-looking building called the Beach, a stone’s throw from Newport’s Water’s Soul sculpture and an esplanade with lovely skyline views; many a weekday I’d visit for eggplant salad, a collection of skewers, beef noodle soup, hand-ripped noodles, or a spicy numbing stir-fry, then take a walk along the path to catch the sunset or moonrise." - Eater Staff
