Last night was my cousin, Mee Kenzo's birthday, and we celebrated with dinner at Nan Xiang Xiao Long Bao on St. Marks Place in the East Village.  What better way to celebrate than with Chinese food?  Nan Xiang Xiao Long Bao is located at 15 St. Marks Place, New York, NY 10003. Having dined at other Nan Xiang Xiao Long Bao restaurants on Long Island, and in Queens, we knew that we were in for a good meal. And they didn't disappoint. We got to try a few new dishes. Please let us know what you think! It was great to see you Cuz. Happy birthday!!

The story of American Chinese food — especially as it intersects with Jewish experience — is about more than what’s on the plate. It’s about migration and adaptation, about forging friendships across boundaries, and about finding joy and kinship where you least expect it: across a table filled with chopsticks, challah, and the communal language of food.​

Take a stroll down memory lane. In Inwood, which is in upper Manhattan, was a restaurant called the Hi-Ho Chinese Restaurant. The story touches families, and neighbors in heartwarming fashion. Do you remember?

Tonight marks the end of an era as 69 Bayard Chinese Restaurant Corporation closes its doors. Succumbing to higher rent and changing demographics, sadly we say "goodbye".
