ELEVENTH HOUR MINDSET NYC CHINATOWN AFTER COVID

"we're not trying to rebrand Chinatown," Kimberly Ho, 38, a partner in Potluck Club and the granddaughter of the original owners of Great N.Y. Noodletown, is quick to say. "We just want to create a true representation of us as American-born Chinese."

"This is the story of Manhattan's Chinatown, born in another era and yet urgently of this one, old and new at once, ever in flux and yet somehow timeless, if only in the mind."

I feature NEW KAM MAN as it is one the oldest and original stores on Canal Street in Chinatown. I have shopped there for twenty nine years.. it exceeds anyone's expectations of authenticity. I purchase jasmine loose tea by the pound, exquisite china bowls and other kitchenware. I order via email now as I live in Florida. [email protected] 212 571 0171 www.kamman.com

This pocket of prized downtown property squeezed between SoHo and TriBeCa, two of the most expensive neighborhoods in the city, has to date mostly resisted wholesale demolitions.

In the hands of civic associations formed to govern the neighborhood in the late 1800s and organized by family or village ties, It has even expanded into new territory, subsuming all but three blocks of Little Italy, as well as the historically Jewish section of the Lower East Side. (The original Chinatown, to the west, was settled by those with origins in Guangdong Province, who speak Cantonese; more recent immigrants, from Fujian Province and speaking Mandarin and Fujianese, have staked a claim to the east.)

WINE Best Non-alcholic drinks according to retailers

https://daily.sevenfifty.com/the-10-best-non-alcoholic-drinks-according-to-retailers/

For this installment of 'Navigating January' we are focusing on low alcohol wine. Yes, our natural wine-making style allows us to create a full flavored, dark red wine with only 10.5% alcohol by volume. We always recommend it as a 'lunch wine', but it will definitely hold up to dinner fare as well. If you are sticking to damp January we suggest a smaller glass of Noiret (yes, there is half the alcohol in 4 ounces vs. 8 ounces). But if you want the volume, how about turning Noiret into a red wine spritzer? One part wine with one part club soda or ginger ale over ice gets you in the 'hard seltzer' 5% abv range.
