Now, when a restaurant’s waitstaff starts dropping like flies instead of its clientèle what does that bode about an eatery?

I still think it's way too touristy but I never said don't go. I just said I prefer the Queens Chinatown. No backpedaling. I still think it’s way too touristy but I never said don’t go.

Thank you, Irene.  Any friend of Jenna’s is a friend of mine.

Jenna, are you backpedaling about Manhattan’s Chinatosn?  Look forward to returning to Queens and I’m glad you like the redesign.

Alisa, I only know what my New York friends tell me.

Thank you, Mary.  I’m going to visit your blog.

I'm kinda dim sum times, ya know.

There's still love but you know how to handle the ups and downs (and the subways). I loved this and look forward to accompanying you in-the-know NYers on your second trip out to Flushing.
