The Oldest Restaurant in Manhattan’s Chinatown Faces the Coronavirus Shutdown | The New Yorker

"Nom Wah Tea Parlor was thriving in its hundredth year—until the pandemic reached New York. Situated on Doyers Street—a boomerang-shaped block once known as the Bloody Angle, for its history of gang killings—the dim-sum parlor is one of the neighborhood’s most popular destinations, especially among tourists, who line up for dumplings and “OG” eggrolls." - Hannah Goldfield
