Chinatown 2 - from NYCtourist.com


With around 300 restaurants, Chinatown means food! A majority of visitors come down here for authentic cuisine amidst the exotic atmosphere. You'll find the majority of dining choices along the narrow, winding Mott and Mulberry Streets just below Canal Street.

	While these photos were taken in winter when it gets dark early, you should be aware that Chinatown closes quite early for New York.
		Many businesses close by 6 p.m.and restaurants by 11 p.m.

	Restaurants became an important staple to the community by the 1890's
when the Chinese Exclusionary Act of 1882 barred Chinese from citizenship and to only a few occupations.

Today, Chinatown remains not only a popular tourist but also an important community containing over 30% of NYC's growing Chinese population.

On our final stop on this tour, let's see some aspects of this community.
