When I used to go to Chinatown with my dad often we used to go to this dumpling place near like a parking lot they had some really good chive and pork dumplings 10-12 for 3 bucks. I haven’t been to Chinatown in probably like years since I live in jersey now see Mikey walk down all the familiar streets just brings back memories.

I know he said he was moving, but I thought he said he was gonna spend like 2 years traveling when quarantine was over. And I know he’s lived in like Cali too.

Yeah. Like the met is one you can do that. Tourists typically don’t know that.

@@pandahok426 This was in 2008. Since then, the Metropolitan Museum of Art changed its admission policies so that non-residents have to pay $25 to get in. But a whole bunch of others are still "pay what you wish," and some are "pay what you wish" on certain days (MOMA on some Tuesdays, Whitney on some Fridays, etc.)

[@spartan1010101]

I know I'm not Mike but I regularly go to NY to visit my family and I'm a huge fan of Golden Unicorn, my sisters like Jing Fong, and Julia Tea and Dim Sum House. My uncle and aunts that live up there go somewhere else but I can never remember, it's like a family friend's restaurant or something. I would not recommend Nom Wah except for a quick visit cuz I'm not gonna lie, their prices are blown way up, the wait is long, and I'm not tryna front on them but their quality is not at the same level as their prices. I appreciate their historic context but I'm about balancing quality and affordability.

[@loldddddgt1322]

The dim sum in chinatown is actually pretty decent. If you are a tourist, I’d recommend you to bring a Chinese friend who can speak Chinese. The dim sum restaurants that are “english” friendly tend to be much more expensive and the food is generally a bit worse. For the best experience, you can tell if the food is good depending if it is dry or not. Most the food is steamed so if the food looks moist(buns are an exception) it is usually good. Most the good dim sum have people moving carts.
