5. Dumplings
Chinese dumplings, also called jiaozi, are said to have originated during the ancient Han dynasty as protection against frostbitten ears during the winter. They then became a traditional food to eat during the winter solstice, but are also now enjoyed all year round. Dumplings may be prepared in a variety of ways, whether steamed, fried, or boiled, and can contain a myriad of fillings. On our Taste of New York Tour, we’ll get a sampling of dumplings from King Dumpling on Hester Street, a small shop serving up handmade dumplings, soups, and sesame pancakes. Join us for a grand food tour of Lower Manhattan where you’ll get to munch on these delicious snacks and uncover the cultural history of NYC’s famous ethnic enclaves!
