Two Chinatown Counters for Cheap Dumplings and Noodles
Two Lower East Side counters keep Chinatown eating cheap and fast: hand-folded dumplings on Henry Street, and Fuzhou peanut noodles and dumplings on Grand. Both move quickly and take a few dollars. Bring cash and go at off-hours to skip the line.
