Red Egg, New York

Red Egg isn't just a reference to the culinary delicacy. The color extends to the interior of this Cantonese restaurant, a contemporary take on a traditional Chinese teahouse, and reveals the spot's diverse intersection of Chinatown, Nolita, and SoHo. Amid hazy red, blue, and purple lighting that the New York Times described as reminiscent of a Wong Kar-wai movie, guests relax in leather booths while dining on dim sum and other Cantonese cuisine made fresh to order. Read on to learn about a few of Red Egg's can't-miss dishes.
