A bustling hub of restaurants, shops, and street markets, Chinatown is a distinctive Lower Manhattan neighborhood that continues to captivate locals and tourists alike. It is marked by low-rise rowhouses, warehouses, and office buildings, and its maze of narrow streets offer promise of undiscovered gems around every corner.
The Life
Chinatown is a hive of activity day and night. There are dozens of restaurants serving up dim sum, noodles, soups, dumplings, and delicious baked goods that can keep one satisfied every day of the year, and grocery shopping is a dance between the specialty marts, the traditional supermarkets, and the fresh fruit and fish stalls that spill out onto sidewalks. Bars are tucked away but always lively, and greenspaces include Columbus, Collect, and Sara D. Roosevelt Parks.
