N.ot Y.our C.ity: Congee Village

Congee Congee we likes to Congee.

Admittedly, going to Congee Village on Allen St. was a tip from Dani Byam, and yes, I finally went without her because her job and immune system stood up twice on me. And I will continue to go without her until she can go with. And I’ll pretend like it’s my first time. And I’ll go everyday. Like I’m a Congee Virgin.

This restaurant is an Asian jungle gym of food where you dine in red velvet at a communal royal lazy susan and watch pros order authentically while waiting for your amateur-hour General Tso’s. From 300 dollar family portions of crabs and noodle mountains oh my to a couple dollar order of veggie dumplings or pork bun snack, make love to it.
