FRIED DUMPLING SHOP
ALLEN STREET
LOWER EAST SIDE
NEW YORK NY
ALLEN STREET DUMPLINGS were the ones who started it all. The Chinese Dumpling Craze.
5 Tasty Pork Dumplings for a mere .99 Cents. OMG ??? !!! There was Nothing Cheaper !!!
Probably at the time, the Best Food Bargain in The Entire World, considering how High Prices are in NYC. Damn ? This was just as cheap as Eating in South East Asia. Just a Dollar for a meal. In New York ? You couldn't beat it.
Eventually the price went up to $1.50 and then $1.99, but still, they were Damn Cheap.
Four of My 5 DUMPLINGS
VANESSA DUMPLINGS
VANESSA DUMPLING HOUSE
ELDRIDGE STREET
NY NY
After ALLEN STREET, VANESSA DUMPLING HOUSE opened, and things really took off. Five tasty Pork Dumplings for .99 Cents. A Bargain !
At first Vanessa was tiny. A narrow shop just about 4 feet wide. There were a few seats you could eat at, at the counter.
PROSPERITY DUMPLING
About 4 blocks down on ELDGRIGE
from VANESSA DUMPLING HOUSE.
This is where I'd go after my Haircut. Vanessa had gotten way to crowded and popular.
