"1915 Lanzhou Hand Pulled Noodles & Dumplings is one of our favorite places for a casual, sit-down lunch in Chinatown. There's abstract cloud paintings on the ceilings, and an open kitchen where you can watch a few chefs hand-pull noodles until they're longer than their arms. A great big bowl of the signature Lanzhou beef noodles should suffice, but if you've got the stomach space, the stewed pork burger studded with green chilis is worth an order, too. There’s also a second location in Murray Hill." - willa moore, bryan kim, molly fitzpatrick, will hartman, sonal shah
