O h man! - Veggie Dumplings at North Dumpling in Chinatown! Inexpensive and tasty??? $2.50  gets you a steamed plate of 8 hand rolled mixed greens (spinich, bok choy some chive with a little fresh chopped ginger is what I taste). The front window has 50# bags of flour piled up so you know that the dumplings are from scratch.

B eing green is what it's all about just before spring plantings. So my friend pointed me in the direction of an electric bike shop in china town on Hester St.and I went over there to look. My wife needed to get wheels for a short commute to work - after talking about it and gee jawing endlessly we came up with an e-bike as a solution. The staff was great to talk to although they spoke mostly chinese they seemed to get the gist of my requests in english and we even negotiated some on the price.
