“The best shopping in the city is in Brooklyn’s Chinatown, the epicenter of which is on 8th Ave. and 58th St. There are three different fish markets. One of the fellows specializes in blue crabs and has soft shells when they’re in season. There’s a tofu manufacturer who also makes rice noodles. There are live frogs, razor clams, live sea bass, Santa Barbara prawns, lots of kinds of mussels, and lots of grades of shrimp—even live shrimp. There are people from fishing boats in Sheepshead Bay, illegally selling fish. There are food carts on the street. It’s very crowded and very fun.”
