Chinatown Veggie Dumplings
Chinatown dumplings are cheap. There are few places where you can get absolutely stuffed for under $5 and walk away with days worth of food for under $10. While there are many opinions on who has the best dumplings, overall they remain a great value – a bag is likely to last you at least a month if you’re keeping other foods in the mix.
While you have a ton of choices, I prefer Tasty Dumpling. There’s rarely a line and it’s tucked away right on the border between Chinatown and the courts on Centre Street. Plus you can get 50 pork & chive dumplings for $8. There are other varieties of dumplings, but don’t stray too far. The vegetarian dumplings are okay, but nowhere near the amazing meat versions.
Steamed or fried, these work well with some stir fried veggies and rice. Don’t forget the Sriracha!
