"Great N.Y. Noodletown is one of Manhattan Chinatown’s classic restaurants. It has been open since 1981, and it found some notoriety outside of New York after appearing in an episode of the Layover, hosted by Anthony Bourdain. Its roast meats are a must-order — duck, char siu, and chicken can be acquired over a plate of rice, together or separately, for about $10 — and we recommend the wonton noodle soup. Cash only." - Robert Sietsema
