A big, family style dim sum restaurant is where most people go to eat away their hangovers. There's no better fix for the the bleary-eyed masses than chicken feet wheeled straight out to their Lazy Susan-adorned tables.

So next time you are hungry in SoHo and don't feel like burning a hole in your pocket from places like Whole Foods, check this place out. Sure beats the Hamptons Coffee joint these two keep whining about.
