I must point out that a lot of the restaurants in Hong Kong were there long before HK was transferred to China. I'm sure the Chinese government is more than happy to have so many world-class restaurants in HK, but that's not to say the Chinese government established them all. Look at Man Wah, the Peninsula Hotel dining room, heck, even the floating restaurants in Aberdeen - all established well before the handover.
But this thread is about New York, not Hong Kong. If you want world-class Chinese in NYC, try Shun Lee. Excellent food, and convenient to Lincoln Center to boot. Can Toronto top that?
Oh... this thread was supposed to be about what you
hate about NYC... oops, wrong thread
