Trying to find a poorly-remembered dim sum restaurant in NYC

December 19, 2018 7:38 AM

I'm trying to find a dim sum restaurant (I think in the East Village, maybe Alphabet City) that I went to in June 2018 and now can't find. I don't remember many details of it, except that it was the best thing ever.

Here's what I remember:
*Slate tabletops
*Concrete floors
*Gray-stained plywood backing for the built-in wall seats
*Clear-coated industrial chairs for the opposing seats
*Long and slender space
*Walls were painted brick, light gray or white

Tim Ho Wan opened a branch on 4th Ave. recently?

Do you by any chance have Google Maps on your phone and have Timeline enabled (the default)? I've found it useful for re-finding places I've been before.

quiet coyote I think you might be thinking of Baohaus? It is certainly slender with a brick interior and it's in the East Village. I don't know from slate tabletops, though.
