by KiNyA Centering around Pell and Mott Streets. A stroll through here will acquaint you with a maze of winding streets containing curio shops, grocery stores, restaurants and a true vision of how East meets West. Leave a Comment

by elaine2u China Town and Little Italy are other fun places to visit. (I usually take Train #6 down to Canal Street). Lots of chinese restaurants and Italian restaurants to choose from. Little Italy is just a couple of yards away from Chinatown - - ask anyone in Chinatown, they will direct you to Little Italy. These areas have great food and fun place to shop for purses, watches, oriental goods, asian foods, Italian shoes and handbags and souvenirs. It's crowded but no waiting in restaurants even on weekends because there are just enough for everyone. Leave a Comment Address: 6th Train to Canal Street

by larsy Shopping in Chinatown If your in the market for fake handbags and sunglasses this is your place. If you look hard enough you can find some 'authentic' Asian things like hats, dresses and anime. The area is also ripe with cheap chinese food, I didnt see any mid range (quasi-classy) resturant but perhaps there are some. Leave a Comment

 memorial dedicated to Chinese-American war heroes by acemj A definite must, not only to have a great meal, but also to spend some time shopping. Make sure you bargain just like you would if you were in a Hong Kong market! As a matter of fact, walking through NYC's Chinatown brings back a lot of memories of my childhood growing up in Hong Kong. It even smells like Stanley Market for those of you who are familiar with HK. Leave a Comment Address: Canal Street

A few blocks from the WTC site is Chinatown...a crowded, hot ,smelly yet wonderful peek into another world. A shoppers delite ,should you be a bit adventurous. Hundreds of small kiosks selling Chinese Herbs,tea,food items ,clothing,all at prices below NYC standards. Theres a full sized Grocery store on Elizabeth St. that may provide a bit of culture shock to WASP Americans.Chinatown stretches for several blocks,bordering the Bowery,Broadway ,and the Courthouse/Federal Buildings.Theres alot to explore. To reach Chinatown by subway get off the Lexington Ave. line at Canal St. Or you can head up Centre St. or Lafayette St. from the Brooklyn Bridge stop, pass the Federal Courthouse, and take the passageway behind that building and come out at Columbus Park ,where Chinatown residents gather en masse to play mah-jong, chess etc...IF you wish to step out of main stream Americana during your trip to NYC ,Chinatown IS your stop.

I enjoyed Chinatown as much as almost any other area of NY. The people there were extremely pleasant, and full of culture. It was very surreal, almost like the a part of the film 'Bladerunner'. There were old Rabbis with the outfits and the long beards, I though were just stereotypes and didn't really exist, yet there they were. (Perhaps they were merely extras for a nearby movie being filmed, getting lunch.) It is probably the most grimy section of the city, but still very fascinating. Leave a Comment

by becstar7 The area seemed very touristy to us...a lot of the same shops selling the same items. I think you have to hunt a little to find the unique shops and restaurants. I found the open air fish markets and fruit stands to be very different from anything around my hometown. I would have liked more time to explore the area. Leave a Comment Directions: I believe Canal street is the main drag of Chinatown. We got off the subway at Canal and Lexington and explored from there.
