What I wrote thereFold it away

Chinatown is home to countless tempting street food options, but Cheong Fun Cart manages to stand head and shoulder above the rest. The cart is run by a sweet lady who makes tantalizing rice noodle rolls.

You can get them stuffed with chicken, pork, shrimp, and beef and always order extra sauce. Best of all, most large options will only cost $3, and none surpass the $6 mark!

I should also mention Cheong Fun Cart sells out almost daily, and is usually closed by noon. Swing by an ATM (they’re cash only!) and get there early to avoid missing out on some of the best street food in New York City.
