"Named after 32 Mott Street, where New York City ’s first Chinese store opened in 1851, Hong Kong ’s 32 Mott restaurant honors traditions of Chinese cooking and ingredients. The must-trydish is the applewood-smoked Peking duck prepared in a custom-designed oven. Handmade dim sum reflects the restaurant’s focus on Cantonese and Szechuan cooking traditions. The cocktail menu takes advantage of the region’s unique flavors, from minty shiso leaves to star anise, cardamom, goji berries, and ginseng roots. The decor at 32 Mott, a union of a New York City– inspired industrial loft with elements of an elegant Chinese imperial palace, createsjust the right mood."
