diddydirty asked: Being a Chinese (American), recent NY transplant. I have to ask, What is your connection between street food in New York and China?
I actually lived in China (Shenzhen but did a lot of traveling) for a year back in 07-08. I spent a lot of time at beer gardens and street food stalls. I’ll be heading back in January to study and give tours on the Street Food culture in Beijing. I’m also a native New Yorker and I love most anything from a cart. Falaffel, Kebobs, Pretzles, Hotdogs, and even Chuan’r (which you can get in Manhattan just below the Manhattan Bridge on Forsyth).
