The Best Cheap Chinese Food of NYCWo HopThis Chinatown stalwart is a throwback to a simpler - and greasier - time. The SceneWo Hop's fluorescent-and-linoleum grotto is pure time-machine New York. Droll blue-jacketed waiters dispense schtick and fortune cookies to tables of raucous eaters, while streams of New York's Finest line up for takeout. Be sure to check out the 8-by-10 glossies of unknown "celebrities" adorning the back wall. The FoodWeary of duck feet and fermented tofu? Put down those chopsticks! Brandish your fork proudly as you plow through the unregenerate Cantonese-American classics that have been served here for years. Don't expect culinary magic, though: flavors harken back to the era when the two main varieties of Chinese restaurant food were Gummy and Fried. But if you give in to the pull of nostalgia, a good time can be had. Sauces are mucilaginously comforting; the fried stuff is actually tasty. Go ahead--order sweet-and-sour pork. We won't tell. 17 Mott St |
