The Exponential Law of Peking Duck: If there is one person who orders Peking Duck in a restaurant, it is impossible for incoming diners to resist ordering it too, especially if they are eating with family.
Also of note, the soup dumplings at New Yeah are smaller than the ones you see around town, which makes them slightly easier to eat. And they've got a pleasant ambience - good for taking out of towners. It's a nice change from what Sietsema dubbed the "operating room" feel of the New Green Bo across the street, if you're in for that sort of thing.

I love learning about new-to-me Chinatown restaurants. Don't spend as much time in NYC as I used to, or as I'd like to, but when I'm there, Chinatown and the restaurant supply stores on The Bowery are a big draw for me. Thanks for writing about this one.

Hi Lydia,
Yeah, Chinatown is such great place to tool around in. I may spend an unhealthy amount of time there.
