"This St. Marks institution serves a menu full of Szechuan, Hunan, Cantonese, and Taiwanese specialty dishes. But your focus for snacking should be the xiao long bao with delicate, nearly-translucent skin and a loose, light-brothed center. Our favorites are the pork and the pork-and-crab varieties, both of which have a meatiness that nicely contrasts the thin broth. You can call ahead and order them starting at 11:30am every day, and you should eat these soup dumplings quickly on your stoop before you climb five stories to your apartment since they’re best hot." - hannah albertine
