Chinatown

New York

Asian restaurants, grocery stores, and trinket shops line the ever-crowded streets in New York's Chinatown. One need not travel to Hong Kong to obtain a $10 Rolex watch, as plenty are available here. Dim sum and other favorites lure diners on practically every corner. New York's Chinatown is the largest in America, surpassing even San Francisco's Chinatown in population. Both a residential and commercial neighborhood, there are close to 200 Chinese restaurants in the area for visitors to explore, and it has accrodingly grown to be an attraction in itself, where brave tourists attempt the more-unusual Chinese foods such as tea-flavored eggs.
