Fried Dumpling

In a neighborhood inundated with dumpling dives, this spot is worth your dollar (literally). There's no atmosphere to speak of, but with pot stickers this cheap, there's no need for frills. A buck will get you five plump pork-and-chive dumplings, and a glance at the ever-present line ensures the goods are fresh. Beyond the crescent-shaped morsels the menu offers hot-and-sour soup, soybean juice and hot coffee. If you get hooked, frozen dumplings (30 for $5) are on offer for cooking at home.
