Mee Sum Cafe

World cuisineLocals' pick

A narrow Pell Street lunch counter dating to the 1960s, with old cash registers, a PA system to the kitchen and old-timers lingering over coffee-shop dim sum from the steam cabinet. Order congee, wonton soup or a box of rice with salted chicken, Chinese sausage and a fried egg.
