MY FAV DIM-SUM PLACE. Kung Fu Xiao Long Bao is a modest Chinese eatery offering dim sum, soup dumplings & uncommon, Shanghai-style preparations. I recommend ordering their famous Kung Fu Xiao Long Bao and Crab meat Kung Fu Xiao Long Bao. However, please note that this place is CASH ONLY. This place is a 13 minute walk or a 3 minute drive.

Authentic Hunan and Sichuan food. Food flavor ranges from spicy to very spicy. (You can also ask for a custom level of spiciness.) I would recommend their Sichuan Boiled Fish, and, one of the following: Chicken in Huge Pot Pie, Hunan Kitchen Special Giant Pot, OR Spicy Country Chicken in Pot. This place is a 3 min walk. Their menu is listed on: http://www.hunankitchenofgrandsichuanny.com/

A very famous chain restaurant. They are most known for their [A1] Liang Pi "Cold-Skin Noodles" and [B2] Spicy Cumin Lamb Burger. Their Hand-Ripped Noodles are also amazing. You can ask for a custom level of spiciness but please note that everything carries a little spice. This place is VERY casual, and most people here get food to go/takeout. Grab a plate of Liang Pi as a late night snack on the way home! This place is a 9 minute walk or a 3 minute drive. Their website is: https://www.xianfoods.com/

MY FAV KOREAN RESTAURANT. My ALL-time favorite place to eat fried chicken and fries. The COOP is a trendy spot for Korean-style wings & other traditional and fusion fare, plus cocktails & soju. I recommend the Truffle Parmesan Fries (THESE ARE THE BEST FRIES I HAVE EVER HAD) and the COOP wings. If you are a fan of kimchi, I would also recommend Kimchi Fried Rice and Kimchi Cheese Okonomiyaki. 14 min walk/8 min drive. (An uber trip that is very worth it if you don't feel like walking) Their website: http://www.thecoopnyc.com/
