How to Navigate One of Chinatown’s Most Popular Food Markets By David Watsky

“Should we go in?” asked a man, middle-aged with a sort of unknowing hesitation that signaled him to be a tourist. I was loitering outside Deluxe—the hybrid Chinese market/butcher and food court that stretches from Elizabeth to Mott in lower Manhattan—waiting for a friend and clapping the flaky dust of a chicken curry puff from my hands.

The man’s more adventurous wife had noticed the crowd inside (usually a sign of something worth investigating) or perhaps the delicious whole roast ducks hanging in the window (or both) and began tugging on his vest, urging him along.

11 Bright and Refreshing Ceviches in NYC

Where to find the delectable chunks of raw fish in lime and chile marinade by Alexandra Ilyashov Aug 17, 2018, 12:14pm EDT

There are few dishes as refreshing as a bowl of ceviche. Found in various Latin American cultures, and spotlighted prominently in Peruvian cuisine in particular, the tangy dish typically consists of cubed fish and/or seafood cured in leche de tigre, a citrus-centric marinade with ample lime, along with a subtle bit of heat from rocoto pepper. The sour concoction is then traditionally garnished with thinly-sliced red onions, cubed or sliced sweet potatoes, and two types of mega-sized corn off the cob — crunchy, toasted ones as well as juicy, chewy choclo kernels. The result? An exciting mash-up of acid and spice in a light but satisfying dish that’s got lots of textural complexity.

Alongside ceviches, Peruvian menus usually also offer tiraditos, which are Japanese-inflected raw fish dishes that feature sliced instead of cubed seafood, often with a slightly lighter hand when it comes to the marinades, and tend to utilize aji amarillo peppers. Ahead, 11 great places to eat some ceviche in NYC.
