About
Chinatown Brasserie, 380 Lafayette St. (corner of Great Jones), ☎ +1 212 533-7000, [13]. Famous for its unusual take on dim sum items, some of which are available for dinner as well as lunch; its upscale Chinese-American food (though not everyone loves this); and its cocktails. You will pay dearly for the experience - each plate of dim sum costs between $6 and $15 for an order of four dumplings, for example, with some plates as much as $22, and cocktails are $8-12 apiece (if anything lower than usual for cocktail bars of comparable fanciness in this city but hardly cheap) - but if you love dim sum and can afford the price, you'll probably find it an experience worth having. Reservations strongly advised. NOW CLOSED.
