Billy’s Bakery is awful. Bad service and even worse food. The red velvet cupcake was so tasteless and dry. Try Sugar Sweet Sunshine instead. Their red velvet and pistachio cupcakes are to die for.

There are a number of places in Chinatown that serve dumplings on the cheap (5 for $1), but the amazing part is that they are mostly really good. I’ve been going on dumpling tours (4-5 places an outing) to see which restaurant has the best dumplings and Dumpling House’s Pork and Chive dumplings were among my favorite.

As for the rest of your list, Magnolia Bakery is good to go once, but their other cupcake types (try the hummingbird) are better than the regular ones. Momofuku was great, Luger’s is good, but there are better steaks to be had, and I’m dying to go to Shake Shack myself; I refuse to wait two hours though. That burger better be divine for a 2 hour wait!
