In its February 19th issue, New York Magazine ran a story about the best of New York City’s Chinatown. It selects a location for the best late-night, banquet-style meals, Shanghainese food and of course, noodles. After Shanghai, New York City is home to the most Flumesday readers anywhere in the world. And all of my market research shows that the readers in New York like to get drunk and eat Chinese food. Also, according to my data, the New York bunch is 5 times more likely to use the phrase, “get the fuck outta here” to express shock or surprise. But for those who like to make a drunken late-night visit to the best Chinatown anywhere in the world, let New York Magazine be your guide. The magazine picks Great N.Y. Noodletown (28 Bowery) and Fuleen Seafood (11 Division St.) as the best late-night spots for “for a hot bowl of noodles with roast duck after a night of bar-hopping.” Though a warning, from personal experience, if you’ve drunk too much, noodle soup with strange meat in it might not be the greatest idea. And if you want to try some of this here Shanghainese food, New York Magazine recommends New Green Bo (66 Bayard St.) where Shanghai’s famous soup dumpling are served hot and, of course, soupy and the fried dumplings are supposedly the crispiest in town. If you’re not used to Shanghai cuisine, these soup dumplings just may elicit a “get the fuck outta here.”
