Super Cheap, Super Tasty Chinatown Food Walk
Posted on February 4, 2008 - Filed Under Food and Drink
Chinese Lunar New Year coming up this Sunday. Year of the pig, or “DingHai.” Chinatown is not how it was. In the old, pre-Giuliani days — we’re talking 1988 — we stupidly wandered down Mott Street during the absolute climax of the celebration (the climax, in contrast to our one-second toaster pops, lasted a mind-blowing 48 hours), bottle rockets, cherry bombs, M-80s missing our eyes by nano-meters–total lawlessness. More perilous than the old July 4ths (again, pre-Giuliani). These days, we’re lucky to catch a dragon dance team from the local senior citizens center. Still, Chinatown food is better — and cheaper — than ever. We took the following walk, never spending more than a buck on any item. Bring a friend and gorge.
