NYC: Great N.Y. Noodletown; restaurant review

Great N.Y. Noodletown 

28 1/2 Bowery/Bayard, Chinatown, 212-349-0923. Daily 9am-4am; $. Cash only.

Locals, tourists, and police alike bump elbows in the unassuming and small dining room here at Great N.Y. Noodletown. Diners are moved in and out quickly and find themselves sharing any empty seats with incoming diners. The kitchen serves up a legendary bowl of wonton noodle soup featuring succulent dumplings filled with sweet whole shrimp and a topping of roast pork. Spicy yellow Singapore chow fun is another favorite, and some declare that the salt-baked squid is to die for (salt baking is light deep-frying). Personal noodle favorites include lo mein (chubby noodles) and chow fun (flat noodles), but you can choose from wheat, rice, and egg noodle items. After, take a walk around Chinatown and also along Canal Street, where you can pick up some knock-off bargains.
