Exploring Chinatown in Manhattan

Manhattan’s Chinatown is one of the largest and oldest in the US, so it can be quite overwhelming exploring all it has to offer. We utilized Big Apple Greeter’s Guide to Chinatown as well as the Chinatown Chowdown app to best discover all the sites, sounds and delicacies the area has to offer.

As an added treat, we had Untapped Cities “Sundays in Chinatown” columnist Lee Kingma share his top picks for restaurants, including dumplings and dim sum. Come join us as we explore!
