Just in time for summer, Brooklyn Dumpling Shop (131 1st Ave) in the East Village is partnering with iPourIt. A new technology allowing customers to pour their own draft beers.

The restaurant also recently launched Cro’sumplings ™, a flaky croissant like breakfast dumpling filled with Bacon-Egg -Cheese, Sausage-Egg-Cheese or Spinach-Egg-Feta Cheese, a nod to Restauranteur Stratis Morfogen’s roots in his family’s Greek diner. Brooklyn Dumpling Shop is also rolling out dumpling flavors like the PB&J.
