One of few remaining real ass spots in Manhattan’s Chinatown. Chinatown residents have for years given portions of their wages to gamblers who take busses to Atlantic City for the weekend in hopes to doubling their money. In the early hours of monday morning, gamblers that lose it all often end up at the Mee Sum Cafe. They will have their head in their hands next to a pot of chrysanthemum tea. Order a pot of the chrysanthemum tea. Be polite and speak with manners.

This place never fails to make me happy. It's a true Chinatown establishment. The dim sum is fire. What could be better?

There’s so many bubble tea spots in Chinatown but this one is by far, the best. Get the passion fruit tea iced, with mango bubbles, twenty percent sugar. Bring cash.

It’s at 100 Bowery, more on the fringes of Chinatown and not on one of the major tourist streets. Genuine Cantonese “hole-in-the-wall” kind of place. You will not find a single non-Chinese person in there at any given time (except the handful of friends I’ve turned onto it). Sweet hardworking staff, super affordable, probably in danger of going out of business like a lot of the other old school Cantonese places in Chinatown. If you go, order Mushroom E Fu Noodles (Yi Mien) and Snow Pea Shoots with garlic.

Blue number 1 is good for you. You can make any drink a blue drink and it becomes a better drink. Blue is good.

Every master I have ever met, martial artist, musician, marble mason, has remained a student. If you listen it’s easy tell who will have your back and who will not. My aunts says, when people tell you who they are, believe them! It will help you hear red flags and the fire alarm. People who do not know how to listen are confused. They will live alone and die alone. You do not need to take anyone’s advice about anything but it pays to know who is smart and who is not. Listen to yourself.

Keep em white. It’s the only classy option. Grey and black are acceptable if the fit demands. Stop wearing crazy socks. No stripes, no polka dots, no direct to garment repetition logos. The only classy sock that is not a solid color is made by @latetomyfuneral. Be good to yourself.
