Fantastic Dim Sum in a modern setting and the only place you can get dim sum any day or night. It doesn't have the carts that go around, though. If that's what you're looking for, visit more traditional places like Jing Fong.

Delicious, traditional Dim Sum in a large space served by rotating carts of dumplings. Only on the weekends at breakfast and lunchtime. If you want Dim Sum any other time, head to Dim Sum Go Go.

Right on the boardwalk of Brighton Beach, a quieter/cleaner beach right next to Coney Island. There are THREE restaurants named "Tatiana" :) I recommend "Tatiana Cafe & Grill" and I suggest walking over from Coney Island, taking a break for lunch here and then enjoying the beach. It is pricey, but it's worth it for the view. Have the cold green borscht.
