Vanessa's Dumpling House
New York is still in mourning after Prosperity Dumplings was cruelly shut down last year. This panic sent us into the arms of Vanessa's, which offers comparable dirt cheap dumps and New York's best sesame pancakes. Grab a full meal (we're talking a pancake, dumplings and beer) for less than $10. Bubble tea enthusiasts, take note - Vanessa's boba is just as boba should be. The bubbles aren't starchy and the taro flavor hits the spot.
