Sun Hing Lung
This Cantonese noodle spot is known for its beef and pork specialties. You can pick up the juiciest pork dumplings for $15. Don’t be put off by the long line on weekends. It’s worth it.

56 HENRY
56 Henry is the emotionally charged anchor of Henry Street’s art community. Openings are like a block party. The exhibitions, sharp, funny, and sometimes devastating, capture the messy, confessional texture of creative life right now.
Coffee ShopChinatown
Dreamers Coffee House
Perfect matcha and coffee at this neighborhood spot folded between galleries on the west end of Henry Street. It’s where the locals drink and art is much-discussed.

Long Story Short
A big-hearted, storefront gallery where locals linger on the benches outside and rising artists explore imagined realms inside.
