102 Mosco Street (bet. Mott and Mulberry Streets) No phone or website
The best part about jury duty is lunch hour. You have Chinatown directly behind the courthouse, and most of the establishments offer dirt cheap lunch specials. It is fun to sit at large round communal tables, and the food arrives super fast--so have your chopsticks in hand ready to eat.
A few weeks ago, while walking around and looking for a crowded place, the absolute best lunch value in NY was discovered. On tiny Mosco Street, right behind the Church of the Transfiguration, there is a four-stool hole-in-the-wall that sells fried pork dumplings at the unbelievable price of five dumplings for $1. They are a nice size with a bit of scallion, and you can watch the two ladies make them as you eat. A bottle of hot sauce and a vinegar solution are the only condiments. Local shop workers, court officers and attorneys come and go and take-out is very popular. Our advice is to keep your plate because it’s likely that you’re going back for five more!
The lady with the serving ladle also sells 30 frozen dumplings for $5, which we will try the next time when we have our ice cooler with us.
