13 Plump Chinese Dumplings to Try in NYC
Pan-fried or boiled, but always juicy 

by Eater Staff and Serena Dai Aug 28, 2017, 10:29am EDT 

One of New York’s finest dumpling shops shut its doors recently, but tons of other restaurants across New York City still offer fantastic versions of the dish. The term dumpling, of course, applies to foods in a variety of cultures. To keep things tight — and as a bit of an homage to the recently closed Lam Zhou — this guide will look only at Chinese dumplings, particularly guotie (pan-fried dumplings) and jiaozi (boiled ones). Soup dumplings deserve a category of their own and do not show up on this list; look out later for a guide to those.

Best Italian Hero on Arthur Avenue is a DIY Sandwich Hack!

 

Sofrito Lovers,

I'm truly blessed to live so close to the amazing 'hood called, Bronx's Little Italy!  With delicious fare, incredible shopping, and fresh produce, Bronx's Little Italy is a foodie paradise!  That's why when I came across the article posted below,on Seriouseats.com, I knew I had to re-post and share it with my blog familia.

The Best Italian Hero on Arthur Avenue isn't found in Arthur Ave (Bronx Little Italy's main street) it's created from the incredible products found throughout the neighborhood.  Check out the post below, then make your way up to the Bronx for a foodie adventure you soon won't forget.  

After the reading the super simple DIY instructions, I plan on assembling this delicious sounding hero this week!  I hope you join me in the adventure!  Go taste for yourself!  Buon Appetito!

Let it be our secret: the best sandwich on Arthur Avenue can't be found in any deli. It's one you make yourself with great ingredients from all over the neighborhood.

This is a simple Italian hero, heavy on the meat and cheese, one that forgoes nonsense like lettuce. You can make it on a bench with minimal mess, and it perfectly captures the slowly disappearing essence of Arthur Avenue's Italian spirit. Start with a split sesame loaf from Madonia Bakery, then go shopping for your fillings.

Note: Bars are listed based on geography, starting south to north in Manhattan, then north to south in Brooklyn
