Special Correspondence of The Herald.
NEW YORK, Feb. 1.-The average
New Yorker can eat in almost every
language and drink in all dialects. He
can order a German dinner and digest
it, He can dine in French and feel re-
freshed lie knows English mutton
chops from American mutton chops,
English tea from American tea and
can swallow a pint of 'alf and 'alf
without being sorry for it. Spaghetti
and Spanish tamales are old friends to
him. But, with Chinatown in his very
midst, and the best of Chinese cooking
at his disposal, he has scarcely got be-
yond chop suey in his taste for the
Celestial dishes AS matter of fact,
there is nothing so tempting in the
world as a really good Chinese dinner.
But you have got to know where to
get it in New York, how to order it
and how to eat it before you can ap-
preciate the epicure's delight in cut
up-food. To enter any sort of restau-
rant with a red curtain and gilded
sign and call for chop suey is to show
yourself a novice. There are one or
two restaurants in the heart of China
town where food fit for the gods may
be obtained. Here the true bohemian
goes when he wants to eat oriental
fashion. But he keeps his secret; for
once it leaked out there would be a
rush to the place and no longer would
the few be served faithfully. He can
get a table d'hote dinner, for the Celes-
tial of New York has learned that
much about American ways, and will
serve you twelve courses, beginning
with sweets and ending with genuine
birds nest soup. But a course dinner
in Chinese is equal to twelve dinners
in any other language; for each course
contains a dinner in itself. Each
Chinese dish is a whole meal consist
ing of vegetables. meat and fresh
greens The epicure selects one dish
and orders this with rice and tea. He
is respectful to the waiter; for he has
come to understand the heather heart
and knows that greed is not all that
there is in it, If your waiter and your
proprietor like you you can get de-
licous meal. There win be tenderer
chicken and a spiCier flavor in your
dish. one of the most popular and
tempting Chinese dishes this winter
is pineapple Chicken-"boilo guy main"
in Chinese. This is made from the deli
cate white meat Of a young chicken,
to which is added the white vegetables
in season-celery, bamboo sprouts and
other faVorites. The whole Is covered
with spiced pineapple from China,
"Chu main" is another rare dish among
the bohemian fraternity of New York.
The foundation of the dish is fried rice
noodles, more delicate French fried po-
tatoes crisper than a cracker and sea-
soned to cheer the palate. The Chinese
restaurants are now practically the
only attraction in the BoWery district.
