We initially made plans with Gordon for lunch in Chinatown but then my sister, drats her, sent an article titled "A Shanghai native in Search of New York City's most authentic soup dumplings", and well, after that there was nothing I wanted for lunch except for The Bao's xiao long bao. Gordon had never been so of course I over ordered: two racks of crab meat soup dumplings, rice cakes with pork, cold tofu and scallions and our favorites - sauteed green beans and wontons in spicy sauce. Sometimes I think we go more for the wontons than the soup dumplings. The three of us walked out satiated and full.
