NYC, CHINATOWN: Jing Fong

If eating Dim Sum was a sporting event, Jing Fong would be the stadium at which it was held. Upon entering the unassuming Chinatown storefront on Elizabeth street, you immediately ascend two seemingly infinite escalators, which bring you to an ornate dining room the size of a football field. Carts whiz by you carrying shu mai, dumplings, noodles, bbq-ed pork and duck, chicken feet, sesame balls, sticky rice. One of everything please!
