I never live in NY, but many Chinese don't speak fluent English in CA. try to get into fields which don't require it at the beginning (e.g. IT, dental assistance, radiation tech). you can get into the fields by taking some short training classes (1~2 years). You will still need good English when you want promotion, but it takes time to learn and you'll have time to learn vs working in a supermarket or restaurant for 12 hours everyday.   

Restaurant job (I did it when I first came to the US 15 years ago) is good for two reasons: it makes you want to find a better job and it is a quick way to make $$$

If you've time and $$$, try to get a Master degree which will increase your chances to find a better job.
