That area is kind of a blind spot for me but have heard great things about Shukette. If you’re looking for something cheaper and willing to take the subway a few stops, I would head to chinatown for Mam, Spicy Village or North Dumpling.

go to chinatown. better yet, go to flushing. find a spot that seems like it serves dumplings. ask them for a seat. if they answer in clear English without an accent, *run*.
order soup dumplings. they might be the first thing on the menu. they'll probably be pork-based.
you'll get a basket of dumplings, a big spoon thing, a plate, and some chopsticks. Pick up a dumpling with the chopsticks and put it in the spoon. poke a hole in the dumpling with the chopsticks. super hot soup will pour into the spoon. let that happen. then, after you think it's probably not going to burn the shit out of your mouth, eat the dumpling and drink the soup.
do not leave NYC without enjoying this.
unless you keep kosher, in which case, I have other, less good recommendations.

a study issued last month found that dancing is the most effective way of treating and mitigating depression. Walking, therapy, and yoga also outpaced SSRIs. and if you're saying 'oh this was probably funded by Big Dance', there's no evidence of that and if you're saying 'that's just what a Big Dance shill would say', well honey you're right
