Sticky Rice: Where to Get This Iconic Dragon Boat Festival Staple in New York's Chinatown

Different regional interpretations of sticky rice wrapped in bamboo leaves abound throughout China and Asia. But there are some unifying themes: many are associated with the observance of Dragon Boat Festival (which falls annually on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month), and all are delicious.
In this video, SAVEUR’s Senior Culture Editor Megan Zhang heads to Manhattan’s Chinatown to hunt down several variations of the dish, then chats up a few chefs and food writers to learn more about why the food is so strongly associated with the holiday.
