Sichuan Dry Pot is a style of Chinese cuisine that is a bit different than most of the standard Chinese fare across New York City. Made popular in China in the 90s, this relatively recent style of cooking is the main focus of Málà Project, a small restaurant in the East Village. In this video from our friends at Thrillist, see what it's all about directly from owners Amelie Kang and Meng Ai.

When Amelie Kang and Meng Ai first opened Málà Project in New York City, their goal was to teach New Yorkers about the lesser-known dry pot they had grown up eating in Beijing. Little did they know, they would wind up introducing this dish to their own culture as well.

Since we first wrote about it a few years ago, the funny web-series Brooklynification has evolved from a humorous show about a Brooklyn brownstone to a hilarious satirical show about gentrification in the borough in general. The long-awaited season two is coming soon, and its trailer just dropped, check it out!

Your favorite award-winning comedy web-series is back. This season on BROOKLYNIFICATION, meet a longtime Brooklynite forced to look for non-traditional housing after being forced out of her home, parents struggling to find the balance between teaching their son to resist change in the neighborhood and giving him the opportunities they didn't have, and a whole set of other hilarious and undeniably human characters.

Get caught up on Season 1 of Brooklynification here.

Good morning! Wishing you a happy Thursday, May 3rd, 2018 from all of us at Viewing NYC!
