The addresses are 9 Pell Street (between Bowery and Mott Street) in Chinatown in Manhattan; 24 West 56th Street (between Fifth and Sixth Avenues) in Manhattan, and 136-21 37th Avenue (between Main and Union Streets) in Flushing, Queens, which has developed a cult following.''Xialongbao''It is known for its xiaolongbao (billed as "steamed buns").
