Just as Eskimos have several dozen words for snow, New Yorkers, who live in a crazy quilt of ethnic enclaves, have almost as many words for dumplings: Dim sum; gyoza; kibbeh; wonton; varenyky, pierogi, shumai—hey, ravioli are dumplings, as are gnocchi.  And investigating the cultural variety of dumplings by bicycle is easy.

Part of Claire and Linda's famous Dumpling Rides series, this route takes you though Queens neighborhoods, various parks, on bike paths & protected bike lanes, with a stop at the Kissena Velodrome. Lunch on dumplings at Galaxy Dumpling in Flushing. Great winter ride, as there are numerous subway bails if your tootsies start to freeze.

Ride thru Brooklyn neighborhoods on quiet streets, then tour thru southern Queens shoreline neighborhoods (how many marinas can you count?). Cross the bridge thru the Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge to the Rockaways for a yummy dumpling lunch at Uma's.  Return across the Marine Pkwy Bridge to Prospect Park for the #2 or 3 train home. There are other bailouts (including the ferry from the Rockaways) if you've eaten too many dumplings at lunch.
