The Year of the Tiger is only 28 days away—beginning February 1st— so now is the time to think about your Chinese New Year menu. When we’re in the city, heading to Chinatown this time of year is a lot of fun with festive decorations brightly lining the streets. It’s a great time to support local businesses. I especially like to enjoy a meal, Nom Wah Tea Parlor and Dim Sum Go Go are two favorites. Of course, it’s also nice to get some premade dumplings—a symbol of happiness, wealth, and family unity—from restaurants in Manhattan’s Chinatown, and Flushing. White Bear in Flushing has the best frozen dumplings to take home and prepare for your meal.
