adventures of mascarah.

I've just begun a new decade. Sigh.

I have always wanted to be "a writer" but I'm lost somewhere in the prologue...whittling away at a story I may never tell.

Likes: pop culture. my chihuahua. architecture. modern art. elizabeth street. contemporary designer apparel. food. travel. foreign films. speakeasys. live music. politics. hot sauce. surprises. running in the rain. strangers. wednesdays. fearlessness...and 100s of other random things... maybe even you.

A southerner by birth, northerner by the grace of God, I'm simply a nyc gal who is lost somewhere on my constant exploration of the city and the life,love, and pursuit found within it.

[Life: Eat] Best Dim Sum in NYC I don’t eat dim sum nearly enough. On the agenda for this winter is to work this more into my brunch routine. I’m researching places I’ve never been and looking for suggestions so if you have any, please do let me know. This is my current list of favs: Golden Unicorn: shrimp dumplings w/shark fin, 2 floors, delish Jing Fon: massive banquet style experience, most people say this place is the best HSF Restaurant: classic, famous for clams in black bean sauce Oriental Garden: best seafood options of all the dim sum places I’ve been to, Bouley is a regular here so it MUST be good Ping’s Seafood: small, more intimate experience, known for fresh fish Oriental Pearl: large, busy, pretty typical selection Dim Sum Go Go: contemporary, clean, lighter dim sum than other places, available during all open hours Chinatown Brasserie: the posh John McDonald owned version, but consistently good 88 Palace: under manhattan bridge, endless carts, you’ll be full for $10 or less What am I missing?

  • Golden Unicorn: shrimp dumplings w/shark fin, 2 floors, delish
  • Jing Fon: massive banquet style experience, most people say this place is the best
  • HSF Restaurant: classic, famous for clams in black bean sauce
  • Oriental Garden: best seafood options of all the dim sum places I’ve been to, Bouley is a regular here so it MUST be good
  • Ping’s Seafood: small, more intimate experience, known for fresh fish
  • Oriental Pearl: large, busy, pretty typical selection
  • Dim Sum Go Go: contemporary, clean, lighter dim sum than other places, available during all open hours
  • Chinatown Brasserie: the posh John McDonald owned version, but consistently good

  6. emilyinternet answered: red egg on centre st is really good, although it’s sort of dim sum-fusion. i hear their pork buns are amazing; i like the mushroom dumplings.
