Popeyes is open and ready for business

Things move quickly in our Chinatown. Popeyes is now open on 61st street and 7th Avenue. If you are into fast food chicken and are looking for an alternative to KFC Kentucky Fried Chicken or Kennedy's, here it is. I reported a couple of weeks ago that they had moved from their location on 8th Avenue. When I passed by the location was busy with people coming in and out of the place. I think they will do very well at their new location. Anybody hungry for some chicken?

Photos of the day: Fei Long Food Court

If you haven't been to the Food Court in Fei Long Market on 8th Avenue and 63rd Street you definitely need to take a visit. Thee food court is located in the center of a Hong Kong style mall. An expansion of the huge Chinese supermarket the makes up the major part of the complex. The food court features Chinese style fast food of all types. It's a cheaper alternative to all the restaurants in the are in New York's largest Chinatown..

Popeyes reopening at new location

Popeyes fast food restaurant which used to be located on 64th street and 8th Avenue has almost finished construction of it's new location at 61st street and 7th Avenue. Why the move was initiated we have no clue. It probably has something to do with the skyrocketing rents in the commercial strips of the neighborhood as leases run out. We don't know when they will open at the new location but by the looks of things construction appears to be almost complete and we can assume it will be fairly soon. 

Best Dumpling Place, Great Taste Dumpling

Great Taste Dumpling, formerly known as Prosperity Dumpling serves the best dumplings in Sunset Park. Their fried dumplings are five for a dollar (other places give you 4). For a couple of bucks you can have a hearty and filling meal and they taste great as well. Try their stir noodles as well. A plate for a mere $1.75 and you can't go wrong. They have an excelent menu and one of the few  ATM's that dispenses $10 bills. It's on the corner of 44th and 8th and the place is always busy.

Store fo the day: Red Apple Fast Food

Buffet style food is not my idea of fast food. Red Apple Fast Food has a sign that sticks out in the middle of the block. I suppose it's the red and dayglow green sign that they hoisted. It does catch the eye. I didn't get a chance to step inside as I was on my way somewhere. Maybe a reader can post a review of the place and let us know if there is anything edible by western standards besides chicken feet and other unmentionables that one finds in some of these places that cater to a strictly chinese crowd. They're located on 8th between 48 and 49th streets.
