Highly recommend their specialty - Shanghai dumplings!  Everything else is ok (everything with MSG does) but expect to thirst immensely after your meal.  There is enough MSG to leave you with a headache and grease and cholesterol to clog your…More »

Hands down - the best xiaolongbao (Chinese soup dumplings) that you will ever have! At least that we've tried on the W. coast, including SF. They arrive hot and fresh at your table generously filled with soup. Very tasty when you add the vinegar to…More »

Oh my, when my sis-in-law forewarned me that this will be yoga on the warm side, I didn't expect a very crowded room with 80+ degree temps.  As a virgin to this experience, I didn't expect to get friendly with sweaty and sometimes smelly neighbors…More »

You know what the say, if you fry anything, it will taste good!  Sure it does, but it's even better with quality seafood.  The shrimp sandwich is a must as well as the groupon soup.  Delicious!  The stone crab claws were good, but I still prefer the…More »

Location, location, location!  Central to all neighborhoods by foot, cab and subway.  However if you're seeking a quiet, romantic getaway, seek a hotel towards 5th avenue, away from the Times Square madness.  

We stayed in a corner suite, with our own…More »

One of the best pizzas I've ever had. Start with a margherita pizza and layer on your toppings. We added the Italian sausage and mushrooms which made a wonderful accompaniment to the fresh mozzarella cheese, basil and tomato sauce on a light crust.…More »
