Guidebook for New York
Food Scene
A great Chinese restaurant! They serve real Chinese meals such as dim sum, siu mei (roasted meats hanging in the window), and can even do Peking duck or a whole suckling pig (with advance notice). You can also get American Chinese favorites like General Tso's Chicken here. It's clean, delicious, huge portions for the prices, and they take credit card.

Great place to get your morning coffee and either sit and enjoy the views, get some work done, or just take it to go. They also serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner. At night, they begin serving beer and wine; most of the beer comes from Michigan breweries.
