Hello Friday! Chelsea here.

It’s National Chinese Takeout Day and we’ve got plenty of places to celebrate. Lucky us! Seriously, there are some amazing spots around town for authentic Chinese food and Americanized Chinese food. “Something for everyone” sounds cliche, but in this case, it’s true. It should be noted that it feels criminal to not include Hunan Lion on this list, but it’s temporarily closed due to a fire, so we’ll just have to make do with these other, phenomenal spots for now!
