Family-style dim sum & Chinese dinner in Union Square
Details
Let's share dim sum and other Chinese delights at 3 Times, a clean modern wood-lined place conveniently located in Union Square. I will choose an assortment of dishes for all to sample and the food bill will be shared equally. Estimate about $35 w/food, tax, & tip. Drinks will be billed separately.
Some likely dishes, still thinking:
Shanghaiese pork soup dumplings
