🪭A Taste of NYC's Chinatown in Summer🌻

Thursday, June 27, 2024: "Summer-summer-summerTIME!" I couldn't wait to return to my old stomping grounds today: the Chinatown district. Mott Street, off Worth Street, was my starting point for a mid-afternoon stroll, a search for bamboo hair sticks, and the purchase of savory baked buns (for a lunch snack) at hidden gem Mei Lai Wah.

Priced at only $1.85 each, the baked roast pork buns from Mei Lai Wah (Bayard Street, off Mott Street) are filled generously with BBQ pork as they were back in the day, when I'd buy a few in the morning and have one left to munch on after class at Sandra Cameron Dance Center on Lafayette Street (in Nolita).

On my next visit to Chinatown, or to Little Korea (near Herald Square), I would like to try Korean fried chicken. "You haven't had it yet?" some of you foodies may be asking. What can I say; I'm a late bloomer.🌸😊

Thank you for viewing my video.🪷
