Another Manhattan oddity I've been noticing: the deli places that have odd cultural combinations. Next door to my office is a place seeing sushi and bagels. I saw another place today that was pizza and pearl milk tea (which they seem to call bubble tea here). What's next, a place that serves steaks and dosas?

I haven't seen the New York style Chinese food, but I have noticed some differences. Like here, it seems like the "xiao long bao" are called "soup dumplings" and have become fairly popular. In San Francisco, most people haven't heard of them. And here you can get them with a crab & pork filling, in addition to just plain pork. The ones with crab are different, but equally delicious.
