Chinese carryout has solidified its place among classic American noshing pastimes. Can't decide what to have for dinner? Just order Chinese. City Lights of China distinguishes itself with sit-down diners and takeout folks alike by reliably delivering fresh, delicately prepared specialties from the Szechuan and Canton cuisines. Start your meal with an order of pot-sticker dumplings or steamed dumplings stuffed with ground pork and chives. Favorite main courses here include shredded pork with dried bean curd, jumbo shrimp with garlic sauce and General Tso's chicken. If you're not in a hurry to get home, take a seat in the dining room and order the Peking duck. It's expertly done here, with moist meat and skin that crackles when you crunch it. The carving is done tableside, so you can take in the impressive knife work so artistically rendered by the servers. -- Jon Bowen
