A Goodbye to Chinatown, Manhattan
June 4, 2023
The long goodbye to New York City starts now at my favorite Manhattan neighborhood: Chinatown. Why? Well, food and colors.
I picked up some sweet treats here at Bangkok Center Grocery. More on that later…
Street eats from 46 Mott Street Deli, a small counter spot near Vegetarian Dim Sum House. This is a banana leaf wrapped sticky rice and mushroom snack
And a sweet snack… black sesame cakes. So good!

Picked up vegan mooncakes from Kozy Toast at Lily’s Vegan Pantry
They are sold frozen, which is a pain.
Thawed but dry. Still yummy though…
My favorite was the ube, but I guess because this one I nuked for 30 seconds.
Now my treat from Bangkok Center Grocery… kow dom mat, my absolute favorite from Thailand. But these were roasted and not steamed. So the banana stayed yellow.
