Chinatown restaurants are typically superb and I practically live in Chinatown food courts, but don\u2019t overlook the storefront vendors that pepper the landscape. You\u2019ll discover a tempting array of snacks that are reasonably priced, served up in a matter of seconds, and decidedly tasty. The offerings vary from time to time \u2013 extra credit to unique comfort foods cohabiting with trays of reliable standbys.<\/p>\n

Two such spots are Old Street Pan Fried Dumpling, 135-45 Roosevelt Ave in Flushing, and Jojo Duck, 131 Walker St in Manhattan\u2019s Chinatown. Incidentally, Jojo Duck (\u4e5d\u4e5d\u9e2d) is so named because \u4e5d\u4e5d, 9\u20139, symbolizing long-lasting togetherness in Chinese numerology, is pronounced jiu jiu.<\/p>\n

Here are a few selections:

\nPan Fried Leek Dumpling \u2013 Leeks, eggs, and cellophane noodles (made from mung bean starch, not cellophane!). A solid choice for my vegetarian friends.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nChili Lamb Burger \u2013 Pro tip: examine one first for juiciness.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nPan-fried Crabmeat & Pork Buns (Sheng Jian Bao, \u751f\u714e\u5305), always a hit!<\/p>\n

Looking forward to warmer and drier weather when we can sample these treats on my Not Your Ordinary Chinatown Tour and Snacking in Flushing ethnojunkets. See you soon!
