"Rainbow Chinese has been churning out excellent Chinese-American fare since the late 1980s. (In fact, as Bring Me The News reports, it received a “historic small restaurants” grant this year.) At the moment, chef Tammy Wong is only doing takeout. But it’s well worth an evening stroll through the snow to pick up a meal of sauteed green beans and savory ma po tofu, simmered with Szechuan peppercorn." - Natalia Mendez, Justine Jones
