About

Eating my way through the Big Apple and around the world.

Always in favor of extraordinary flavor versus saving a few calories, I’m constantly seeking the best restaurants, recipes, and random little food finds. This blog chronicles my discoveries, most of which are located in New York City, the foodie heaven I am fortunate to call home.

After living in Manhattan for five years, I finally made the move to Brooklyn (Greenpoint) at the end of 2011. I could not be more excited to discover and devour all the great eats in my new borough. (Recommendations very welcome!)

I take my photos with a point-and-shoot Canon PowerShot SD850. Which goes to show that if you're passionate about photography but can't afford fancy camera equipment, you can still take quality photos.

I’ve been meaning to get a group together to do Dim Sum for a long time. Because shocker, I’ve never had it! Anyone up for trying one of these places (minus Chinatown Brasserie, not a fan) some time this month?

[Life: Eat] Best Dim Sum in NYC
I don’t eat dim sum nearly enough. On the agenda for this winter is to work this more into my brunch routine. I’m researching places I’ve never been and looking for suggestions so if you have any, please do let me know.
This is my current list of favs:
Golden Unicorn: shrimp dumplings w/shark fin, 2 floors, delish
Jing Fon: massive banquet style experience, most people say this place is the best 
HSF Restaurant: classic, famous for clams in black bean sauce
Oriental Garden: best seafood options of all the dim sum places I’ve been to, Bouley is a regular here so it MUST be good
Ping’s Seafood: small, more intimate experience, known for fresh fish 
Oriental Pearl: large, busy, pretty typical selection
Dim Sum Go Go: contemporary, clean, lighter dim sum than other places, available during all open hours
Chinatown Brasserie: the posh John McDonald owned version, but consistently good
88 Palace: under manhattan bridge, endless carts, you’ll be full for $10 or less
What am I missing?

  6. emilyinternet answered: red egg on centre st is really good, although it’s sort of dim sum-fusion. i hear their pork buns are amazing; i like the mushroom dumplings.
