But, on a happier note, dinner was pretty much completely awesome. We ate at New Harmony on 9th St. in Chinatown. All vegan/kosher Chinese food. If you like Chinese food, regardless of if you give a shit about whether or not its animal free, go there. It was some of the best Chinese food I've ever had. The actual atmosphere/restaurant was nothing special. If you've ever been in any random restaurant in any city anywhere's Chinatown, you have seen the inside. But the food is so damn good you probably won't care.

I had the dinner special, which included won-ton soup and an egg roll, both of which we shared. The soup was perfect, the dumplings in it were delicious, and the egg roll was crisp on the outside, perfectly cooked inside and just plain yummy. We also shared an order of pork dumplings which sadly were the one downside of the meal. Not fully cooked, to the point that one or two were still a bit frozen inside. Yeah, that's bad. But everything else was so good I feel bad even mentioning it.

Main course was General Tsao's chicken for me, garlic pork and vegetables for Kelly. Again, both were fantastic. The fake meats had great taste and the texture was almost perfect. The vegetables were well cooked and still crisp, not mushy in the least, and the sauce on both was just a little spicy and flavorful. All in all, it was an extremely satisfying meal that left me stuffed nearly to te point of unpleasantness. But that part is my fault. So good.

As an added bonus, prices are extremely reasonable. For two people, with appetizers, plus two take-out entreees for the next day, it was under $50. Damn. Check out their MySpace page, linked above, for the menu. If you go there, let me know. I'll want some more take-out.
