Supermarket · Chinatown · 74 tips and reviews
Caroline Deng: Best place for the cheap Asian groceries and produce that you can't find at Trader Joe's or Whole Foods! It helps if you can speak Chinese to ask staff for specific items.
142 E 14th St (btwn Irving Pl & 3rd Ave), New York, NY
Grocery Store · Union Square · 303 tips and reviews
Caroline Deng: Great selection of cheap, healthy produce and products, but long lines. Come on hump day at opening to 10 AM or at closing for the best lines. Wait in the outer line for best access to fresh produce.
Dim Sum Restaurant · Chinatown · 228 tips and reviews
Caroline Deng: Get the piggy custard buns! A little bit pricier than Jing Fong but much smaller line. Get there at around 10:30 to avoid the long lines.
Caroline Deng: The lunch is expensive, but the views from the Revolving Dining Room are worth it! Check your cutlery because they might not clean them very well.
