To one of my dearest friends, Liza ❤️
It is one of life’s greatest blessings to call you my friend.
Because of you, I didn’t just gain a friendship I gained a family. Through you, I’ve met some of the most genuine, lifelong friends that I will forever cherish. A community built through love, food, passion, and support. All because you had the vision to bring people together.
Last night was proof of that.
A room filled with people from all walks of life, all connected by one thing: YOU. Showing up for you, supporting you, celebrating you just as you have done for all of us.
What you do is so much bigger than storytelling.
You seek out the light in people. You find the passion, the struggle, the heart, and the soul behind every dish, every business, and every dream. You give people a voice. You give their stories life.
And somehow, you do it all yourself.
The producing, the filming, the editing, the endless hours, the running through New York City chasing stories like you’re digging for diamonds in the rough. Finding hidden gems and making sure the world sees them shine.
That’s who you are.
The real MVP has always been you.
You are hope. You are proof that when one person believes in others, entire communities can rise together.
Thank you for believing in us before the world did.
Thank you for telling our stories.
Thank you for helping us shine.
And now, watching you take all of our stories and spread them nationwide! That is something truly special.
Please know this:
We are forever grateful for you.
We are forever rooting for you.
Because when you win, we all win!
Love you always, our dearest friend. ❤️

Your ultimate guide to some of the best wontons (雲吞) in NYC 🥟
We’re seriously lucky to have so many legit cantonese style wonton spots here. Some are surprisingly just as good as (or even better than) what you’d find in Hong Kong 🤯
Sadly, I’m allergic to alkaline egg noodles, so I can’t speak to the noodles at these spots. I usually swap them for flat rice noodles (hor fun/河粉) instead🍜

A staple and one of Flushing’s finest, @maxisnoodle needs to be on your list for their gigantic wontons and bouncy egg noodles. Add some of their house made chili oil for the perfect combination. They now have 2 locations in Flushing area as well as a location in Chinatown!

Hey wonton lovers! If you are in Manhattan, NY or Flushing, NY, I highly recommend visiting Maxi’s Noodle. Their Hong Kong style soup is served with large wontons and dumplings and they have a great variety of toppings to choose from. Their Hong Kong style drinks were a plus on the menu. My friend and I went to Maxi’s Noodle 3rd location on 68 Mott Street, New York, NY 10013. The other two locations are in Flushing, NY. Enjoy! #wonton #nycfood #chinatownnyc #flushingnyc #dumpling
