6 Essential Spots For A Chinatown Food Crawl

"The baked pork buns at Mei Lai Wah are New York City icons, right up there alongside Rosie Perez and the Wu-Tang Clan. They’re dense and glossy, with a sweet, meaty filling, and you’ll see people walking away with big boxes of them. There’s often a line outside, but don’t worry about that. It moves quickly. If you want to get a few different things, add a flaky pineapple bun to your order. " - bryan kim
