I’m in @Dean - thanks for checking.
Also @ninkat, from her comments elsewhere.
1pm sounds great.
I had the xlb at new world when I went back (same place as the crispy rice cakes) and they were fine not superlative, which is also what I thought of Shanghai you garden a few years ago (the former have thinner skins, the latter more flavorful filling).
Tbh I’d be equally happy pre-gaming by walking over from the 7 train via White Bear and Followsoshi (aka Dim sum garden takeout outpost) for a few bites of assorted tasty dumplings before bbq!
Maxi’s is another thought, though I’ll likely stop by for frozen wontons on the way home anyway (ditto DSG frozen siu mai).
