In the city, dim sum is perhaps most often associated with mobs of people converging on weekend mornings and afternoons for their fill of inexpensive shumai, har gow, pork buns, noodle rolls and chicken feet. Whether it’s ordered via cart service or by menu, the selection of classic Cantonese dim sum dishes ranges widely across New York City’s boroughs.
NYC’s Panorama Music Fest Goes All-In On Food, Teams With PostmatesĪ Bartender’s Guide To Drinking In Houstonįood, Drink And Hotel Tips For Your Next Miami Trip Mile End, Soho and Boerum Hill: The nouveau Jewish delicatessen hosts its annual reservation-only Chinese feasts daily December 24 through 26, with dishes like corned beef and kraut wontons with spicy mustard sauce and dan dan noodles with smoked meat.Derek Feldman Is Disrupting The Japanese Food Scene Reservations aren't accepted, but call to put your name on the list starting at 10 a.m. RedFarm, Upper West Side, and RedFarm/Decoy, West Village: Food expert and restaurateur Ed Schoenfeld's perpetually popular Chinese-American joints are offering holiday specials on Christmas Eve and Day, including barbecued duck with Japanese plum sauce and black truffle and chicken soup dumplings. Grand Restaurant, Flushing: Located on the top floor of New World Mall in Flushing, this shiny newcomer to the dim sum/banquet hall scene boasts neon purple lights, wall-mounted fish tanks and endless carts of fresh dumplings. Pacificana, Sunset Park: There's a slightly upscale atmosphere at this Sunset Park Cantonese and dim sum standby, but the Christmas Day crowds (evenly mixed between Jewish and Asian groups) can still get a little rowdy, or as we like to call it, festive. The dim sum isn't necessarily the most innovative, but it's hot, fresh and, due to the enormousness of the dining room, turns over quickly.
Jing Fong, Manhattan: Brace for a sprawling dim sum and banquet hall, complete with a private escalator, ginormous crystal chandeliers and an in-your-face gold dragon motif. In the interest of ensuring you have both a good time and a good meal, I suggest a trip to one of the following restaurants: As Tracy says, we are motivated by our hearts, not our taste buds. We like the food, we plan around the food, yes, but this is not the day to debate which hyper-regional speciality to pursue-this is a day of tradition, which means, for my family and friends, queuing up for dim sum pushed around in rickety carts or Chinese-American classics covered in cornstarch-thickened sauces. Veteran groups may choose to elect one "runner" to fortify the team with pineapple buns and/or egg tarts from a nearby bakery (there's almost always a nearby bakery) while they wait, and a separate "barker" to do the bulk of the ordering and/or pointing once seated.Ī final consideration: Chinese food on Christmas is not really about the food. Restaurants in all three Chinatowns (lower Manhattan, Sunset Park in Brooklyn and Flushing in Queens) will be swollen with huge, hungry groups, and it's fair to assume there will be both a long wait and overtaxed service once you're in.
