NYC Dumpling Festival

Since we moved to the city Vlady and I have tried to take advantage of new and fun things as much as possible. We've gone to free concerts, plays, musicals and festivals and we've tried dozens of new restaurants.  A few weeks ago we found the dumpling festival in Chinatown, so we decided to give it a shot. There were 10 vendors from local restaurants and they were serving everything from sweet dumplings to pierogies. We tried 8 of the 10 different vendors, walked around and watched Polynesian dancers give lessons to the crowd.

We both agreed that our favorite dumpling was one of the asian ones with pork, and our least favorite was the sweet dumpling that surprisingly had the longest line. It was a great way to spend a few hours on a Saturday, and I love the fact that I live somewhere that has festivals celebrating things like dumplings!
