If you want crab and don't care about ambiance, Hop Kee is cheap and delicious. But as I said, there will be absolutely NO ambiance. Hope you have fun in NY! Let me know how it goes. @dee – If you’re in college and don’t have a trust fund, I don’t recommend going to Fatty Crab unless you go with a big group so you can sample everything and share the cost of the food.

Really, the sliders and pickles look much bigger than they actually are, so it wasn't a problem eating them. 2 bites and they are gone. @Olivia - Wow, I eat alone a lot, but not to eat crab. That takes guts girl. Yeah, as for me I really wanted the crabs to be good, but the sauce was way too salty, and I'm not one to shy away from salt. And I never got this swollen from sodium thing. All my friends complain about it, but maybe I'm perpetually swollen so I don't notice it! @Nicholas: You underestimate my giant mouth, the pickle is no match for my powerful bite.

Before I lived in NYC, I was up for vacation and stopped at Fatty Crab, tried their namesake dish and was hooked. I love going and digging into the bowl all by my lonesome- with a beer in hand, of course. Where else can you find them in NYC? I just recently ate @ FC and actually asked the waiter if he could prepare the dish with low salt. As much as I love Fatty Crab, I always leave so swollen from all of the sodium! Anyway, I love your blog and would love for you to check out mine @chefolivia.com! My favorite thing ever are these chili crabs!

I assume it's not mushy, but looking at the picture, if you tried biting into it, the innards would probably neatly slide out of the bun. Presentation issues aside, it seems to be a logistical nightmare to eat :(. Doesn’t the giant pickle get in the way of the slider?

OMG, that sounds awesome. Yes, I remember the noodles, but I thought the roti with the curry sauce was even better. Oh man, sweet memories... @veronica – Does that mean you had free unlimited crabs and beer?! OMG, that sounds awesome.
