If your idea of great Cantonese cuisine is roast pork in a greasy fluorescent-lit Mott Street dive, Funky Broome — with its wacky pink-and-green neon lighting and equally crazy, but equally creative, menu—will rock your world. There are few “over rice” dishes here. Instead, get ready for “mini pots” of fish and taro, or enoki mushrooms; “mini woks” of satay meatballs and rice vermicelli, or oysters in red-wine sauce; and “fruity entrees” like baby shrimps with sweet pear, or Swedish ribs with strawberries. If you prefer, there’s also classics like beef with Chinese broccoli, but when you see your neighbors tucking into minced duck wrapped in lettuce leaves, or the lacquered red crispy squab, you’ll undoubtedly feel the need to get funky yourself. — Matt Gross
