Three Neighborhood Kitchens
46th Street Dumpling Stop
Thick, bread-like scallion pancakes come with a salty dipping sauce at this Sunnyside kitchen. Hefty house fried rice and braised beef noodle soup round out the Chinese comfort-food lineup, with the beef kept moist in its flavorful broth. The small, clean dining room suits a sit-down meal, while delivery is available. Bring cash. This restaurant operates on a cash-only basis, and hours extend to 11:00 PM on Friday and Saturday.
Brooklyn College Takeout
Counter service keeps this neighborhood Chinese restaurant practical for a seated meal or an order to go. The clean room has mirrored walls, and the kitchen’s boneless spare ribs are a frequent recommendation. Student lunch specials add a lower-cost daytime option. Delivery orders are available. The kitchen opens at 11:00 AM Monday through Saturday, opens at noon Sunday, and stays open until 11:00 PM Friday and Saturday.
Late Service, Hearty Meals
At 125 Nagle Ave, this Upper Manhattan restaurant serves Dominican classics in generous portions, including rotisserie chicken, bacalao, maduros, avocado salad, and rice and beans.
