Part of what I\u2019m calling the \u201cGolden Oldies\u201d series: photos I had posted on Instagram in bygone days that surely belong here as well, from restaurants that are still doing business, still relevant, and still worth a trip.<\/em><\/p>\n

Spicy Village, a little off the beaten path at 68B Forsyth St, is one of Manhattan Chinatown\u2019s hidden gems. Showcasing Henan (not Hunan) cuisine, it\u2019s one of those restaurants where the cognoscenti whisper, \u201cDon\u2019t miss this place! And when you go, order the Spicy Big Tray Chicken (Da Pan Ji) and be sure to get an extra order of their wonderful hand pulled Hui Mei wide noodles to go with it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s what we ordered back in August, 2016:<\/p>\n

\nSoup Dumplings<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nSpice Scallion Sauce Dumpling, captioned here as it appears on the takeout menu.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nSpicy Big Tray Chicken. A classic dish, classically prepared.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nPancake with Pork<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nSpicy Lamb Hui Mei from the Dry Hand Pulled Wide Noodle section of the menu (as opposed to Lamb Hui Mei from the Hand Pulled Wide Noodles Soup section of the menu); IMHO \u201cspicy\u201d and \u201cdry\u201d are the way to go. For soup lovers, there is a choice of Flour Line Noodle, Yam Noodles, Rice Vermicelli, Rice Thin Noodle.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nGarlic Chinese Baby Bok Choy, also captioned here as it appears on the takeout menu.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nBeef Brisket Huimei, same options apply.
