We’re investing in the corridor underneath 42 St—from redesigning passageways and platforms and adding elevators, to expanding stairways and turning the 42 St Shuttle into a fully accessible service.

Good afternoon! Wishing you a happy Tuesday, March 16th, 2021 from all of us at Viewing NYC!

Here's what the weather looks like in the City right now.

Spicy Village is a small restaurant in Manhattan's Chinatown that has a cult following for their delicious hand-pulled noodles and chicken dishes. In this video from HiLo, see how the restaurant has been affected by the pandemic.

Spicy Village is a New York Chinatown institution, a hole-in-the-wall spot renowned for its hand-pulled noodles, meat-filled buns, and famous “big tray chicken.” The restaurant’s owner, Wendy Li, runs the cult favorite with her husband and two children; they’ve earned accolades from the likes of celebrity chefs, the Village Voice, and the Michelin Guide. Before the pandemic, the line went out the door virtually every night.

For Chinatown restaurants like Wendy’s, the impact of Covid-19 will soon become too much to bear. Business took a spike in February 2020—and not just because of a lack of foot traffic. Racism and xenophobia have threatened these places’ survival, too, with anti-Asian sentiment on the rise. Spicy Village’s future is under threat. They desperately need a show of support from New York’s noodle-lovers.
