A new version of Chinatown Chow Down was recently released on iTunes. The update is now available with cool new features like offline maps, higher resolution photos, and updated listings. Get it here.

You can also grab Chinatown Chow Down in the brand new app Sutro World. From this free app, you have access to over 300 awesome guides produced by indie travel writers from across the globe. Some of our favorites include Real Pizza of New York, New Orleans’ Best Bars, New York Essential Guide, and Eat Rome.

And we’re already brainstorming changes for version 3. Right now we’re compiling our favorite new restaurants, meat shops, produce markets, beverage spots, and fish stalls to see which ones we want to add to the app. If you have any suggestions, drop an email to across106thstreet@gmail.com. We’d love to here from you!

Exploring the Street Eats of Chinatown

Posted on June 22, 2011 | Leave a comment

Street food is an essential part of New York City life. From a cheap hot dog on the run to a scoop of artisanal ice cream, there’s a huge range of grub served on the sidewalks of the city. Chinatown is no different. However, it’s hard to find information on all the great spots, so that’s why we included plenty of food carts in the app with locations, hours, and quirky details to help you track them down. Check out a few photos of some of our favorite vendors and of our favorite street foods. And if you find any Chinatown street eats we missed, drop us a line and we’ll add them to version 2 of the app.

Eater NY Readers Have the Chow Down’s Back

Posted on June 6, 2011 | Leave a comment

Chinatown Chow Down was recently featured on the popular food blog Eater NY. This was great press. But what made this post special were the commenters that came to the Chow Down’s defense when someone complained that the app should be free (instead of costing the very small sum of $1.99). One response summed it the best “It was totally worth $1.99 to learn that Chinatown has a restaurant called Golden Steamer.”

It’s Not Page Six, But Page Four Ain’t Bad

Ok, this was a surreal moment. Opening up the New York Post yesterday to page four and finding a nice little article on a certain Chinatown app wedged between Weinergate and Bradley Cooper’s handsome mug. Name of the article? “An ‘app’-etizer” of course! Thank you NY Post.
