The long-awaited DiDi Dumpling at 201 Amsterdam Ave (corner of 69th Street) will be opening on August 15, according to signage in the door. Thanks to Mike and Desi for the tip and photo.
The previous tenant at 201 Amsterdam Ave was dance apparel store Capezio, which closed in late 2019.

The restaurant’s menu includes potstickers, boiled dumplings and soups. Dumplings and potstickers come in 5, 10 and 15-piece servings – and can be purchased frozen (along with wontons) in 25 and 50-piece servings.
The 5, 10 and 15-piece options are respectively priced at $4.75, $8.25 and $11.50 (except for their slightly more expensive shrimp dumplings which are $5.75, $10.75 and $14.45).

I was just thinking the other day that we need more dumpling spots in the neighborhood. And fried chicken, definitely more fried chicken.
I was thinking exactly the same thing!
Let us hope it’s not as bland as Mimi’s at Amsterdam and 74th.
OMG, these look delicious!!!! Can’t wait!
We need more restaurants in the 60’s on the UWS. Welcome Didi! Look forward to trying your dumplings soon.
