"Dumpling Xi, a Chinese chain with 800 locations across Asia, has their second NYC location in the East Village—their first is in Flushing. They make nine different versions of dumplings filled with things like pork and celery, shrimp and chive, and curry chicken. They’ve got a few other things on their menu as well, like soup pots. We haven’t been here yet, but want you to know this spot exists." - Will Hartman
