Vanessa's Dumplings, Lower East Side, Manhattan

Discover NYC
Written By Leanne Staples

Update - Vanessa’s is open for business. Love those dumplings!

Vanessa's has been serving fresh handmade dumplings since 1999 on Eldridge Street. When I first started eating there, 4 dumplings were only $1.00! Now the price for 4 dumplings that are made in front of you while you wait is only $1.50! There is almost always a line to order and to get a table. They have other food as well. I often stop here during a Chinatown photo tour or after a street photography workshop. 

They call the area Chinatown. Technically it's the Lower East Side but Chinatown keeps expanding.
