Well the day didn't start out as planned. My train was over an hour late. So I took a commuter train to New Haven and hopped on the Acela train into Penn Station. Problem solved!
Our first stop was Chinatown for some Dim Sum. We ate at the Golden Unicorn. This was the best Dim Sum we ever had!
The waitresses come around with carts of dim sum and you let them know what you would like and they hand it to you.
The dishes range from $2.25 to $4.95 each.
steamed vegetable dumplings, shrimp wrapped in bacon and spring rolls
My favorite - shrimp wrapped in rice noodles
pork wrapped in dough, steamed shrimp dumpling and wrapped sticky rice
pan fried vegetable dumplings
Greens
Street scenes from Chinatown
Vendor where I bought my baby cabbages
Next stop is a place where I have always wanted to go just to check it out - Pearl Soho
This place is a knitters and crafters paradise. After all of our walking we took a much needed break.
I had one of my favorites - red velvet cake and my friend had strawberry shortcake
Then we worked our way back uptown
Empire State Building
The famous Flatiron Building
