Profile

Lucas Lin spent a year researching the fine art of tang-mian, the northern-Chinese technique of making dumpling dough, before opening a sleek East Village shop where he colors his wrappers with fresh vegetable juices and stuffs them with pork, chicken, tofu and vegetables or corn. The rice-vinegar-sesame-soy sauce is preferable to the house Marco Polo tomato-basil affair. But the shaved ice dessert (when in season), laboriously hand-cranked on a vintage machine and drizzled with sweet beans or peanuts and condensed milk, is a perfectly refreshing finale. — Rob Patronite and Robin Raisfeld
