The Ride-Along Report: First Takes From Last Night’s Dinner
"What It Is: A Lower East Side outpost of the Williamsburg Chinese restaurant Perfect For: Casual Group Dinners Williamsburg’s now has a location right on the other side of the Williamsburg Bridge (really, it’s about 14 feet from the bridge) on the Lower East Side. The space looks fairly similar, and the menu isn’t too different either - there are very enjoyable dumplings, noodles, and larger wok dishes like tea-smoked mu shu duck and crispy garlic chicken. For a fun, casual group dinner on the LES where you can drink good cocktails and share a bunch of food, this is a new spot that definitely belongs on your list. The Verdict: A similar, and similarly enjoyable option to the Williamsburg original. We’ve added it to the Hit List." - hannah albertine, bryan kim, katherine lewin, hillary reinsberg, chris stang, matt tervooren
