Bing Kitchen Brings The Chinese Street-Food Staple To Orchard Street

I've never been, but apparently in cities all over China the jianbing street-cart breakfast is as much a workday staple as the bodega BEC is here in New York. Which, as soon as you've eaten a few, makes sense: the bing (part crepe and part sandwich) is portable, it involves eggs (and meat, sometimes), it takes just a few seconds to make, and there's enough going on with its textures and flavors to make a sleepy/hungover morning feel a little bit better.

The bing search

In a city with 20,000 different and often unique places to eat, it would be impossible for me to keep track of a majority of them, much less every single one. Lucky enough, there are seemingly enough nearly the same amount of food-related websites and blogs that concentrate just on New York City. And as well, I am fortunate that I have a large network of fellow epicure friends who hip me to restaurants they may want me to check out for them, or get my opinion on.

There are two main offerings listed on the online menu, plus a monthly special. Options include the “Beijing Burrito,” which is stuffed with lettuce, cilantro and egg. The “Southern Comfort” is a fried chicken slaw bing. Also on the menu: Taiwanese fried chicken, sweet mung bean soup (chilled this time of year) and a selection of salads.
