"Ignore the locals eating soft pretzels before noon and head to Chinatown for shrimp dumplings, roast pork buns, and spicy beef wontons. You can have a dim sum brunch at Nom Wah every day (except Wednesday) with any size group you’re traveling with, since the booths here are big enough to fit a whole basketball team. They also have a lengthy tea menu that includes blends like chrysanthemum, oolong, shou mei, and jasmine that you can sip on for a morning pick-me-up that doesn't include a shot of espresso. This is also a place that you could pair pan-fried chicken and cabbage dumplings with a morning beer—and nobody would think twice." - Candis Mclean, Alison Kessler
