Here's wishing you a (slightly late) Happy Year of the Dragon!
I actually wrote an account of a food crawl I took in Chinatown a couple of weekends ago here.
Of the places I went to, Peking Duck House was my favorite.
...But as a Chinese-American friend of mine said when she heard the list of places I had visited: "Ah... you had Chinese food for white people."
It's sort of true. To get a really good Chinese meal, I almost think Manhattan Chinatown is over. You have to go to Flushing. (There are, of course, great and authentic Chinese restaurants in Manhattan -- but very few of them are in Chinatown.) But if you're looking for a place to celebrate, check out Legend for some seriously good Sichuan food.
