Yo! NYC

In the heart of Chinatown, a restaurant located at 69 Bayard Street, bearing the same name, is papered with dollar bills.  From wall to wall, dolla dolla bills, y’all, cover every square inch of the restaurant.  Customers, visiting tourists or local New Yorkers, leave their mark by plastering a George Washington (or Abe Lincoln) on the wall or the ceiling and write something, a declaration of love, a Greek affiliation, a gang motto, or a simple “________ was here.”

If you are in Chinatown, especially if you work around this area sometimes you want anything but Chinese, well this is the spot! In the morning you can get breakfast sandwiches, hash brown, and coffee. They always have newspapers so you can relax a bit before your day starts. For lunch, they have all the standard cold cut and many choices of hot sandwiches like chicken parmesan, chicken cordon bleu, etc. They usually have specials or new items so you can’t get too bored from eating here regularly. This deli wouldn’t be so special anywhere else, but because it’s right in the heart of Chinatown I think it really deserves a mention.
