The Ride-Along Report: First Takes From Last Night’s Dinner
"What It Is: A Greenwich Village spot specializing in mixian (rice noodles) from the Yunnan province of China Perfect For: Casual Weeknight Dinner, Dining Solo South Of The Cloud’s bright space just north of Washington Square Park was crowded when we got there, but we were seated almost immediately - there’s no alcohol (they’re waiting on their liquor license) and food comes out very quickly, so people aren’t lingering. The menu includes five types of mixian - rice noodles from the Yunnan province of China - which come out either dry or in a four-hour chicken broth. We liked almost everything we ate here, and left very full for about $20 per person. Definitely get the spicy bites of fried pork shoulder and the cold noodles with minced pork. The Verdict: Check this place out for an affordable lunch or dinner in Greenwich Village. It’s now on our Hit List." - hannah albertine, bryan kim, katherine lewin, hillary reinsberg, chris stang, matt tervooren
