It's really too bad she closed at 80 Thompson - it was her original location and the Thompson chocolate is my favorite. I've only been there twice to try to find the chocolate that my mom tasted for the first time when she was a child. Reportedly, her creme brulee tastes like a Chinese egg tart. Maybe she'll find herself a counter in one of the fancy Chinatown hotels and locals can sample her wares.

The corned beef IS very flavorful and even better cut into hunks over white rice with gravy like Geng Seng on Pell Street used to sell on Fridays But if you mind fattiness - just a little - then pay a dollar more for the pastrami. One sandwich is enough for two people at $21 but it is also enough to split into six sandwiches if you bring it home and use steamed chinese coin purse buns from the Chinese supermarket (i prefer dung dung i..e. winter brand - just pick the bag with the same character twice). Also use cole slaw instead of a condiment in the sandwich. I will not return because leftovers were kind of odd.
