Random, I know...but does anyone have recommendations for good chinese on the UES? And, though even more of a long shot - a place that has good steamed pork buns would be even better.

Gotham!! I can honestly say one of the best meals of my life there.

I used to live on UWS - and my roomates and I would go to happy hour specials at Hi-Life. Cheap sushi on Mondays, I think and then half priced entrees the rest of the week. I haven't been up there in a few years, so I assume it's still open.
