//The line

Fried Dumpling is a tiny, cash-only counter on Mosco Street where dumplings are made to order and people wait in line for them, per OnlyInYourState; a search confirms the line moves fast but the counter closes for the day once it sells out.

At 13 pieces for about $5, the value pulls steady foot traffic through the narrow storefront; it's open daily 10am-7pm, and having exact cash ready keeps the line moving quickly (per search findings).
