So, remember this? Well, just to let you know, if you ever want pizza in Chinatown, you’re out of luck. Though, if you did want pizza in Chinatown, I’m not sure how I would handle that question. Anyway, the point is, Mosco Pizza has now become this:

There are loads of barber shops along the old Doyer Street. One of the cheapest place to get a haircut in Chinatown is here at, New Hong Kongg Barber Shop (~~extra g for gangsta).~~ Seriously this place is dirt cheap, regular hair cut goes for $6 add $2 more bucks for a wash with it. Drop a buck or two for tips and you’re set. No appointments needed, get in and out in about 20 minutes.

Trip to Harlem’s Dinosaur BBQ - A Genuine Rib Joint

Dinosaur BBQ in Harlem

I went to Dinosaur BBQ in Harlem for dinner last night. Word of advise, call for reservation in advance or be prepared to wait for a very long time (probably 1 hour +). After being told that the wait will be an hour to an hour 1/2, I decided to do take out. Someone told me you have to make reservation a week in advance, INSANE, I think thats kind of over the top.

New bubble tea place! I personally don’t like bubble tea, but for all of you who enjoy repeatedly chewing on gummy balls that have no flavor, you should try this place. If I haven’t convinced you effectively, maybe Jack Skeleton will?By the way, worse comes to worse, Chinatown Ice Cream is next door.

Congee Restaurant

Congee Restaurant
98 Bowery Street

Not many restaurant are open on Bowery late night during the week. If there are it’s rare to find one busy with many customers. This establishment distinguishes itself from others with a wide selection of congee or jook , pronounced in Chinese, dishes served all day. Congee is a traditional dish that is basically a rice porridge, normally eaten early in the day. The joint is also known for their seafood and it’s diverse items on their menu (shark’s fin). We started with the frog leg congee, this was my first time eating frog meat, which it seemed a bit dry to me. Yes, it’s true it does taste like chicken. The meat are very small and you will need to suck on the bone to get the meat off. The whole time I can’t get the image out of my mind how they cook the frog and better yet where they get these frog from? But if you get over that idea the congee was not bad. Our favorite dish was the large crab sauteed with ginger and scallion, it was a good portion for two, be prepared to messy handing the crab shell.
