Restaurant Supply Stores

Chinatown is full of restaurnt supply stores. You don’t actually have to own a restaurant or buy in bulk at these places.

It’s really shi-shi to buy things from these upscale stores in Manhattan, but in reality a lot of their cookware is not all it’s cracked up to be.

At the restaurant supply stores, you’re getting restaurant grade equipment which is really study at the cheapest costs.

I love cooking and baking so this is pure heaven for me. The items in these stores, don’t have the fancy labels and packaging but they also don’t have the fancy prices. HOORAH!

Shanghai Kitchen

This restaurant used to be Moonhouse. It got taken over by their chef and now has a new name.

The food is more or less the same since they have the same chef. Some people say that they can taste more Cantonese influence over their Shanghai menu after the transition of the restaurant. I think the changes are quite subtle.

The soup dumplings here still remain one of my favorites. I read Time Out NY about these foo fah new places with their dumplings but my #1 picks remain constant.

Thanksgiving in Chinatown

People usually would not think the words “Thanksgiving” and “Chinatown” go together. I beg to differ…


Chinatown is one of the liveliest places in the city during the holidays. Many of the restaurants and shops are closed on Thanksgiving whereas, Chinatown is the real city that never sleeps.

Terrorist Trials

The trials for 9/11′s Khalid Sheik Mohmmed are being held across from Columbus Park. This sucks for all New Yorkers, especially Chinatown-ers.


Many locals are worried that the increased security will turn the area into an armed area and drive out businesses and residents.

Chinatown has been through so much with the proximity being so close to the 9/11 site. It doesn’t seem sensible to me to have the trial in the area that it devastated. Our community is fighting to bounce back form 9/11 and now the recession

The Turn On Delancy and Allen

From my commute in from Queens, I have to make this turn off Delancy onto Allen street. This turn has gotten worse and worse.

This morning I especially hated this turn and hated life, when I got into a minor “accident”.

This is a very busy turn. First it went from being two left turning lanes to one. Then they decided to put a bike lane there with picnic tables. It’s really the strangest and most dangerous thing ever.
