    Ok, so my opinion will be biased because I live in Montreal and we have Schwartz's Deli which serves smoked meat!!!!! It's better than pastrami, but this place is definitely second best. Its a must "to do" when visiting NY.

    Chinatown
    Bursting with an amazing array of sights, sounds, and
    smells on every block, a visit to Chinatown feels like
    entering a different world. It’s a colorful spectacle
    that gets even more crowded on weekends, when families
    stream in to enjoy huge dim sum feasts and to stock up
    at the markets on Mott Street. To take a break from
    the buzz, grab something sweet from one of the many
    bakeries in the area and head to Columbus Park, where
