"I'll take you down to CHINATOWN"

Famous New York City Chinatown at night! It was so freezing that night, about....12 degrees I would say, or colder and it was windy as heck! We met my friend Diana's cousin's wife (Pat) there. Pat is Chinese from Thailand so she speaks Thai. Anyway, she took us from Grand Central to chinatown (Canal Street) and we ate at "Shanghai Cafe" which had, you guessed it, shiao long bao! They were quite delicious, especially since I hadn't had chinese food in SOOO long. The hot tea and tsong yo bing were a trip back to Los Angeles haha. So here are some pictures of the restaurant, steaming the baos, making the baos, etc. They had vegetable, fish and pork filled bao-tze.
