Eating in Chinatown is a culinary experience that goes beyond beneficial to the stomach. It is a psychic center where one can tap in to a host of flavors and options that are just not available anywhere else in the world. Chinatown is a melting pot of more than one kind. Not only it is a place where the East can come to glorious life in the middle of western civilization, but it is also a place where the mergers of taste create a unique new recipe that is as diverse as it is filling. Enjoying the different eateries in the Chinatown region enables one to partake of world class foods at surprisingly cheap prices.

But in spite of what Chinatown has to offer, there are a number of other locations close by that compete with it for the culinary crown. One such location is Bleecker and 6th Avenue. There are a number of different options in this district including Murray’s Cheese Shop (wherein one can enjoy the high protein and tasty delights of cheeses from all over the world); Wild Edibles (that offers old favorites and exotic selections that no other restaurant in town can compare to for being different and distinguished); Amy’s Bread (the greatest thing in bread since, well, sliced bread); Faicco’s Pork Store (wherein one can enjoy a number of pork preparations that will quickly have swine heading to the top of your meats list); and Ottomanelli & Sons Prime Meat (that takes the sandwich to new heights). And speaking of sandwiches, one has not lived until he has tried the tuna and dill sandwich from Once Upon a Tart’s, which will have diners wishing that lunch could last forever. Last but not least, there is the Pizza Bianca, which is among the best in the city from the unlikely location of Grand Daisy Bakery.
