Enjoy The Authentic Flavors Of Shanghainese Cuisine At Little Alley In NYC

Opened in May 2017, Little Alley offers authentic flavors of Shanghai in the heart of Manhattan.

CRAB SOUP DUMPLINGS

In my opinion, Little Alley serves one of the best xiao long baos in New York City. The juicy Crab Soup Dumplings pack tons of rich, flavorful broth paired with pork and crab meat. The skin is neither too thick nor thin, holding onto the broth perfectly without easily breaking apart. Each order comes with six dumplings served with vinegar soy sauce topped with fresh ginger.

STIR FRIED SHANGHAI RICE CAKE

Slice rice cake is stir-fried with shredded pork, green capsella flower, and sesame oil in this classic dish - Shanghai Rice Cake. The dish lacked depth of flavor, but I still enjoyed the chewy rice cake.

Whole Body Cryotherapy

The most popular service is the Whole Body Cryotherapy, which exposes the body to sub-zero temperatures for short periods of time for up to 3 minutes. The body's exposure to the temperature as low as -240 degrees initiates various therapeutic responses within the biochemistry, signaling a chain of physiological reactions that stimulate circulation, healing, and detoxification. The benefits of Cryotherapy ranges from increase in energy levels to reduction of stress and anxiety - it's a true panacea that will improve your daily lifestyle.

Gravity Colon Hydrotherapy

The service that I personally would HIGHLY recommend is the Gravity Colon Hydrotherapy , which essentially cleanses your colon by leveraging the water filtration technology to get rid of waste in your intestines. During the 1-hour long session, the highly trained, certified therapists use the natural flow of gravity to introduce water into the body, which then dissolve and carry wastes away. Some of the benefits of colonics hydrotherapy includes flatter stomach, glowing skin, elimination of bloating and constipation, and inflammation reduction.
