this is a Cantonese fish house so they feature very fresh fish: eel, sea bass, lobster (the kids will love to watch them in tanks in the entryway). If you're planning ahead for a surprise (or you're in the doghouse-AGAIN), try the winter melon soup (which pairs mild chicken broth with items like melon, frog, crab and mushroom, then served inside a hollow gourd).

Ping's is our favorite Dim Sum in Chinatown (and possibly our favorite in New York although we like Gum Fun in Flushing as well). My wife assures me it is authentic. All I know is that it is delicious. But what is also nice is that it is not a giant Dim Sum Palace but feels likes a more traditional restaurant, which can be nice. But it also means that seating is at a premium. Arrive before 11:30 am on weekends if you want to avoid a wait.
