Dim Sum, Chau Chow City, Sunday, July 4, 1:30 pm
ø
Join us for dim sum at Chau Chow City, 83 Essex Street in Chinatown, on Sunday, July 4th at 1:30 pm. Friends, significant others, and family members are welcome, too. Look for Sun or me.
South Station is the closest stop on the Red Line (and may be the closest subway stop). Chinatown is the closest stop on the Orange Line. There is a tiny parking lot very close to the restaurant that is not free. Street parking may be available a short walk away in the financial district. If you could let me know in advance if you plan to join us, that would be very helpful because when Sun and I get to the restaurant, we can put in a request for a table if we know how many are coming.
Dim sum is Chinese food that some people think is quite tasty. It’s often eaten for brunch. The Chau Chow City waitstaff roams the restaurant with carts filled with steamed foods, fried goodies, dumplings, soup, seafood, and assorted desserts. Customers select what to eat as the carts pass by. The food is often served in steamer containers with 2 or 3 items per container. Going with a group can work well because there’s more opportunity to share and try different items. It is possible to order from Chau Chow City’s menu.
Boston will be a little chaotic because of people coming in for the 4th of July celebration and Harborfest.
Look for me on the Cambridge-side of the Charles River at the celebration that evening.
Addendum 6/29: There’s a rumor circulating that the Dowbrigade might make an appearance at dim sum.
Addendum 7/3: Another rumor indicates we might be looking at photos of Ecuador.
Addendum 7/4: There was a good turnout for dim sum. Michael was there, but we got too busy talking and forgot to look at his Ecuador photos. Perhaps he can talk at a future blog meeting about his experience blogging from Ecuador.
