In the late 1800s into the early 1900s, hundreds of thousands of Italians migrated to this country disneyland tickets way cheap working on the subways and railroads.  (My great-grandfather worked on railroads.)  Our guide Alana is an excellent storyteller, and I enjoyed the short stories she weaved together to create a vivid image of what Little Italy was once like .
Now just a few square blocks with some Italian restaurants and shops, this area was once much larger and crowded with immigrants living in tenements.  What I love the most about these Italians is that they thought American food was bland and decided to keep their own food traditions , even if it meant having to import foods from their home country.
My taste buds were already satisfied, and I learned so much about the history of the area and the culture of the Italian immigrants.  And we still had more to learn and most importantly eat as we moved to Chinatown.
And the cool factor is that we had this egg roll at Nom Wah, which is a restaurant featured in the first or second season of Sex and the City.  (Yes, I have watched the series so many times that I have them memorized.)
Our exploration of Chinatown was filled with more food, including Thai, since Southeast Asian cuisine is becoming more prevalent in the neighborhood.  the tour was filled with more stories about the culture and history, disneyland tickets way cheap including what were once considered the roughest areas in the world .
Not only did I leave Chinatown and Little Italy full and happy, I left with a huge list of recommendations for MORE food to try, including the best spots to get dim sum, noodles, soup dumplings, ice cream, and more.

They were lined up without filling. I had eaten some of them in Central disneyland tickets way cheap Italy, and they always were filled ready-to-eat. Therefore I was quite surprised when I saw the real, Sicilian way to serve them. Answering my question about that, my Sicilian friend disneyland tickets way cheap told me you want the coating to be crispy, don t you? That s way they are filled when served .
I used to live in China for nearly a year and had some egg rolls for my dinner it didn t look like yours. Yours look more delicious. The egg plat I used to have was much smaller and yellowish. Must try it one day. The pizza looks delicious
