August Gatherings Photo: Gatherings is an upscale restaurant with menu items like boiled chicken and fish ball soup and roasted duck with dried plum sauce. We recommend getting here around 10am on weekends to avoid a long wait. From pork buns and rice rolls to baked pork pastries and rice noodle rolls each option is delicious. Golden Unicorn is another great dim sum option.

This cafe and dessert shop in Chinatown will have your sweet tooth yelling and your mouth watering! The talk of the town is their Boba Milk Tea Cream Puffs, but they also have Vietnamese coffee, Royal Milk Tea with mini boba, Creme Brulee Mochi Donuts, and so many more tasty treats.
#JURY DUTY DIM SUM CHINATOWN NYC TRIAL#
Until I got picked for a 6 week murder trial You could say that disrupted my audition season just a bit. I was annoyed (as everyone was), packed up my computer and a book and headed downtown to endure what would surely be the most boring day ever.

Offering breakfast, lunch, and dinner this menu has a large variety of dishes to choose from, all of which look way too good to eat. The menu at Dimes changes weekly with menu items drawing inspiration from Japanese, South American, and Mediterranean cuisines. There are a few Dim Sum Palaces around NYC, but the newest Chinatown location that opened last month is the largest in the city! They serve dim sum (as the name suggests), along with seafood stir-fry, shumai and BBQ pork buns, and a whole lot more! The best part though? They’re open until 4 am!
