This spot, (formerly Ray's) serves some of the finest square slices in the city, like the Spicy Spring, which comes with natural casing pepperoni that curls and crisps in the oven.
Falafel and Soup: beloved falafel, either in pita or platter form, rounded out with Taim's creamy, tahini-rich hummus, cabbage salad, and Israeli salad. During brunch they offer soup du jour.
100-year-old Italian specialty market with incredible mozzarella and fresh porchetta. Expect long waits, but they're worth it for Louie's selection of imported and deli products.
Some of the best steamed buns in Chinatown. You can't go wrong with an order, but we love the pumpkin, salted egg yolk (sweet), roast pork, and pork-vegetable options.
Full-service Shanghai-style restaurant with our favorite soup dumplings in the neighborhood.
A great overall bakery, we especially like the Portuguese egg custard tart and the slices of plain roll cake.
The dumplings aren't the best in Chinatown, but their crisp, doughnut-light sesame pancakes stuffed with meat and vegetables are great.
Italian pastries and coffee aren't great here but the Little Italy atmosphere is top-notch.
