"It's time to play hooky and go to weekday dim sum brunch instead. Choose Royal Seafood, a palatial and carpeted spot in Chinatown that serves dim sum on carts seven days a week. Look out for plump har gow, perfect mounds of sticky fried rice, and slippery rice rolls with beef and shrimp. Even on a Tuesday at 9:30am you'll see someone pairing their chicken wings with a bottle of Hennessy, so come here when you'd like to briefly forget about all of your responsibilities, and just focus on eating a lot of shrimp." - bryan kim, molly fitzpatrick, neha talreja, willa moore, will hartman
