Come and experience the largest Chinatown of the United States. In the 1840s, Chinese immigrants migrated to NYC to form their enclave during the Gold Rush period in California. The immigrant's dream was to earn much money from the United States and return to their homeland China to support their families. During the 1900s, garment factories, laundry mats, and restaurants flourished, providing jobs and an internal structure of governance by associations, clans and gangs.
Today's NYC Chinatown operates under dynamic changes. There is a fading of garment factories, laundry mats, replaced by higher end retail stores, although restaurant businesses still boom. You will see the famous Canal Street lined with jewelry stores, gift shops and Chinese bakeries. Carved out of Chinatown is "Little Italy", where there's Italian owned restaurants and cafes.
Experience an authentic cooked Asian cuisine luncheon at THE CHINATOWN of America. Tantalize your palate. Eat up! Bon appetite.
