Prosperity Dumpling

I don't know if you can find a better deal in NYC, and if you can, I'd love for you to show me.

Rickshaw, I think we've met your match.

Prosperity Dumpling is literally a hole-in-the-wall located in Chinatown.  Walk too fast down Eldridge Street at night and you may miss it, as the yellow sign hanging above the door can not be seen.  Just look for the line out the small door and wait patiently for a few minutes, and you'll be greatly rewarded.

Prosperity isn't much to look at.  A small counter lining the wall with two bar stools is all that is inside.  The space can fit about 3 customers comfortably.  However, the line here moves fast, and everything in here is dirt cheap.  That's what tempted me to venture out to Chinatown and try this place out.  The dumplings here are 5 for $1. That's right.  No gimmick.  No hustle.  You get 5 jumbo dumplings for $1.

Now I've had cheap meals before, and it's always you get what you pay for.  What can you really expect for that price?  I can tell you, now from experience, these are the best dumplings I have ever had in NYC, and the fact they are so incredibly cheap makes them taste even better.
