Warm Up at Xi'an Famous Foods

The 3,000-year-old city of Xi'an in China lies on the same 34 degree North longitude as Los Angeles. Xi'an isn't a city as familiar with the biting cold winters that we face in New York, but the region-specific menu Jason Wang and his dad David Shi offer at Xi'an Famous Foods couldn't be more appropriate for the bone-chilling winter weather.
There are three Xi'an storefronts: 67 Bayard Street, 81 St. Marks Place, and the original; 41-28 Main Street in Flushing, Queens. We dig the 67 location for its "ample" table space. Noodle dishes and soups make up most of the menus at the three locations - order either spicy and your frozen bones will thaw in minutes. In case you show up and you're too cold to think, follow this easy step-by-step:
Ponder the menu.
Obey Mickey.
Get a ticket.
Get your food. We got the Spicy & Tingly Beef Noodles ($6).
Eat your food. Feel warm.
