This Ain't Whole Foods, People
I love grocery shopping in Flushing, but you gotta be ready for some things you just won't find at Fairway, both good and bad.

Pork Front Feet
My only question: do the front feet taste differently from the rear ones?

Beloved Deluxe
I just can't get enough of Deluxe. I shop here firstly for the food, but a close secondly for the atmosphere. Visiting NYC? Come to Deluxe and get all your hot pot ingredients in one place.

Foolish At The Dynasty
Just because repeatedly throttling your shopping cart down the narrow aisles of a Chinatown supermarket for the sake of a blog photo is clearly unsafe and stupid...doesn't mean you shouldn't do it anyway.

We wait for the same roast pork buns my Mom used to love, in a place that hasn't changed since she first entered thirty years ago.

What I wanna know is, why don't the Chinatown buses go to Providence? They seem to go everywhere else.

You can scratch your head at the marketing, but you can't argue with the tasty home-style food at the Pork Chop House.

Have you been to MoCA? It's one of Chinatown's lesser-known pleasures. Check it out at its current space before it moves into bigger digs next year.

Keeping Flushing Clean
As a Chinaman, I feel slightly embarassed by this. I mean, couldn't we have just kept all the text in Chinese? Talk about airing dirty laundry! I don't see signs like this in SoHo.
Also, I've urinated in the Public many times. Usually without incident.

Fishy Pell-Mell
I noticed the aquariums in the window and had a few minutes to kill, so I stopped to shoot some photos. This fish came right up to the corner of the tank where I was shooting. I couldn't tell if he was looking at me or was attracted by something else, but I have to say I started to feel a bit guilty snapping away with my camera while he was stuck in a small tank with three other big fish.
