Broadway Bites vendors have taken over Greeley Square and they're offering some pretty awesome street food through November 10. Some are even testing out the waters with creative choices like fried mochi balls (MochiDoki) and calamari tacos (Coney Shack). But the real standout this year is definitely DAA! Dumplings. This Russian eatery uses only local and organic ingredients to make their scrumptious meat and vegetarian "airfried" dumplings. Choose from hearty flavors like Lamb & Feta, Beef & Pork, Chicken, Potato & Mushroom, Tempeh & Kale, and even something sweet like Blueberries & Cream and Nutella. Add a side of their tangy sauces like the beet & saukerkraut along with a dollop of sour cream and enjoy these conveniently cone-wrapped dumplings. The perfect meal on-the-go!
