No, but it’s really good. It’s so good that they put a sign up about it.
One on of my New York City visits, I went to this place for the “best sponge cake in NYC” and it was.
The address is 118 Baxter Street. Inside is a bit of a dive (but it’s more fun that way, right?).
Try to go when the buns are hot out of the oven.
I’m not even into sponge cake and this was so soft. Is sponge cake the same as chiffon cake?
For $95 per person, you get a whole lot of history and trivia about Chinatown Manhattan and New York City (what Chinese dish was invented in Manhattan? That sort of thing). Oh, and you get to eat at five different places.
I won’t give away all the places on the food tour, but it was definitely worth it. We went with Ultimate Food Tours.
Our group had ten people and the tour took three hours. Along the way, our guide shared lore, etiquette (how to eat a soup dumpling properly!), and stories about the Chinese in America.
The guide was awesome and he left without waiting for a tip!
