"Maybe one day you’ll meet your friends near their apartments in Hell’s Kitchen or Crown Heights. But for now, your long streak of convincing them to come to the West Village continues. Make it easy on them and recommend dinner at Hao Noodle & Tea. This Chinese restaurant is within eyeshot of the West 4th St subway station, and your friends will forgive you for the long commutes once the food arrives. From the clay pot chicken soup with dumplings and glass noodles to the perfectly fried shrimp in a huge bowl of spicy chili, everything here is excellent." - Team Infatuation
