You may not even know that you want one but, you heard it here, you do. A few weeks ago, Daughter #2 (most recently documented here) and I were enjoying ourselves at the Fort Greene Farmers Market, deciding which delicious bread to buy when she offered a paean to the best sesame pancake in New York, whereupon the baker behind the counter said, "Oh, you must mean Vanessa's Dumplings."
Which she did. And which she took me to yesterday. So next time you're on Eldridge Street in Chinatown in New York - or even if you're all the way uptown or out in the 'burbs - get yourself down there and eat! Had to take some pics.
We had two sesame pancakes with vegetables (crammed with fresh cilantro), sweet and sour cucumber salad, and, of course, dumplings, plus some special bottled drink of undetermined vintage and a bottle of water all for $9, including tip.
