Yeah, Bo Nay is just Cantonese for Pu-Erh (Mandarin) although I
sometimes have seen Bo Nay mean a mixture of Chrysanthimum and Pu-Erh.
I've only seen it served alongside Dim Sum at one restaurant near
Pittsburgh (besides the Pu-erh at Mr. Tangs). I didn't like the
Chrysanthimum version.

Of all the things to miss about NYC, it is mainly the wonderful variety
of food that has me wanting to go back. Forget the tourist sites, and
the glitz, I'd be happy to stroll through Chinatown or Central Park for
entertainment and try to eat at every restaurant in NYC. I'm still mad
I didn't get to eat at the Argentinian Steakhouse in Queens, I think it
was called Boca Juniors. Thanks for mentioning homemade noodles, now
I'm hungry and my wonderful lunch of Domino's pizza is seeming woefully
inadequate.
