Breaking Sound Presents

Before

0.4 mi · 8 min walk - Chinatown - Bowery

On the bend of Doyers Street, with the dough being pulled in an open kitchen a few feet from the tables. Bowls start around five dollars. The knife-cut noodles pan-fried are the better order over the thin hand-pulled ones. Cash only, and tables get shared once it fills.

After

0.2 mi · 5 min walk - Tribeca - Hudson Square

A two-floor pub at Lispenard and West Broadway with pressed tin ceilings, a shuffleboard table upstairs and a jukebox the regulars keep feeding. It opens in the morning and does not shut until four. PUNCH calls it a holdout from the days when neighborhood pubs were everywhere down here.
