Wo Hop (17 Mott St, Mosco & Chatham Sq) - old school Cantonese, cheap, a favorite of NYPD and FDNY, as well as anyone hungry at 4am

Golden Unicorn (18 E Broadway) - Dim Sum served cart-style
Joe's Shanghai (9 Pell St) - legendary for their dumplings and dim sum

Pho Grand (277C Grand St), Vietnamese, Pho is noodle soup made with rice noodles and thinly sliced rare beef.
106 Mosco St., 5 Dumplings for $1.00. Restaurant has no name, no phone, no website…the sign outside just says, “fried dumplings.”
Chinatown NYC Shopping
Check out the local markets, with ducks and pigs hanging in the windows, Chinese herbs, lucky bamboo, lots of knick-knacks.
Ten Ren (75 Mott St) - one of our largest and most exotic tea selections
Pell Street – known as “Hair Alley,” dozens of hair salons and barber shops, cheapest in the City.
Note – fake designer goods not covered intentionally. They are illegal, believed to support terrorism and child labor, and most definitely not fashionable.
