So what is Congee? Congee is a type of rice porridge, with a mix of meats or vegetables added in.  Usually, Congee is served hot in bowls, and is salty, but there are also canned Congee which is sweet.  Congee Village is probably the best place to grab Congee on a cold winter day.  Eatting Congee provides your body with warmth.  But don’t worry! Congee isn’t the only food that they serve!  Congee Village has a huge selection of food, from the typical takeout food, to traditional and regional chinese food.  You can’t go wrong by going to Congee Village, because the taste is great!  For traditional Chinese people, this place has the rotating table.

Bored of just food? Don’t worry! Congee Village also serves alcoholic beverages.  If you’re under 21, you also don’t have to worry! Congee Village serves exotic drinks such as Lychee Ice Drink, Green Tea with Honey, Bubble Milk Tea, and other fruit drinks.  Whatever chinese food you crave, you can probably find it here!

After feasting in the different restaurants in the Lower East Side, why not end with a delicious Crepe?  Creperie serves amazing Crepes, such as Vegetarian Crepes, “Savory” Crepes, and Sweet Ones, so you can also get breakfast here!  I’d recommend getting the “Famous Crepe”.  I mean, it’s named the “Famous Crepe” for a reason.  The blend of Nutella, Banana, and Ice Cream in your mouth will make you drool for more.  Yeah, the price is $10.00, but it’s definitely worth every penny.

Just take a look at that mock crepe! It already looks SO GOOD!

Alpha Donuts is a common diner place, but as you can see in the name they are famous for their delicious donuts! This place was ranked as a top 11 in “New York’s Best Donuts” by Gridskipper, along with the famous Buchon Bakery and Balthazar.

At 11 p.m., I was craving for donuts. I just arrived in New York and didn’t know much about neighborhood. With the help of the internet, I found out that there were two 24-hours Dunkin Donuts in my neighborhood, but what caught my eye was Alpha Donuts. A top donut place in NYC? In MY neighborhood? I just had to go for it. Thank God they were open 24-hours.

As I entered the door, an old man was standing in front of the counter. He didn’t look quite friendly, but let’s face the fact: it was almost 12 o’ clock and maybe the guy needed some sleep. They had classic, old-fashioned donuts like Boston Creme, sugar-raised, and apple crumbs. I ordered one chocolate glazed and one with chocolate and frosted sugar . When I got the donuts in my hand, I was surprised at their size. They were 2 times bigger than those mass-produced Dunkins.

I came back home and tasted the donuts. It was heaven. They were so delicious! I think they are much better than other donut places. If you want to grab a fresh and warm donut that come right out of the oven, visit around 3-4 p.m. because that’s when they bake their donuts.

Ariyoshi is one of the few Japanese-owned in Queens, as most of the sushi places in Queens tend to be owned by Korean and Chinese people. It is like the shining star in the neighborhood. They have an extensive and varied menu along with the quick and friendly service. The taste of the food is not even comparable to any other Japanese restaurants around, and what’s better is that the price is relatively CHEAP! They have lots of specials that are decently priced.

Beware if you’re reading this at night. The pictures below will make you go hungry.

(roll special)

Their ingredients are always super fresh, and they are perfectly flavored.

Their specialties are sushi and rolls, but they also have great tempura and udon. This place is highly recommended and you won’t regret going!

Is Shwarma calling your name? Craving some Fallafel? How about combine the two in a delicious Shwafel? ChickPea is the perfect place to get it! ChickPea prides itself on baking and never frying their food. So for a (slightly) healthier and Kosher option check them out!

Katz Delicatessen speaks for itself. It is nationally known, and is constantly filled with tourists and natives alike. Its delicious sandwiches can cost you a pretty penny; nonetheless, it is still worth it to try it out at least once! If you are looking to save money, consider ordering a knish or a hot dog which are the cheaper things on their menu. This legend was created in 1888, my grandmother fondly recalls their advertisement “Send a Salami to your Boy in the Army,” during World War II. You must visit this place at least this once!

If you are in the Lower East Side and are looking for a place to eat authentic Latino food, then you must visit La Isla Café Restaurant.
