There are quite a few authentic Shanghainese restaurants in NYC Chinatowns. Unless, of course, you consider NYC is not part of US, which is not an unreasonable assumption.wumingnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13974296645733775.post-1621775181074377282009-11-30T12:17:27.147-05:002009-11-30T12:17:27.147-05:00Ha! 花椒 (hua jiao) is definitely indigenous to Sich...Ha! 花椒 (hua jiao) is definitely indigenous to Sichaun, I guess that's why it's called "Sichuan pepper" in English. <br /><br />Hope you had a great Thanksgiving.
