Do you know Chinatown is more than 150 years old and Chinese food started feeding New Yorkers earlier than hotdog, bagel and pizza? This walking tour will take you into the alleyways of New York City's world famous Chinatown. We will visit mom and pop shops, savor culinary delights that made Chinatown and Chinese food an intrinsic part of New York City life. Some of the dishes we will sample are actually endorsed by my parents! This tour is an exploration of history and culture heritages. It is also a sensory treat of tastes, sights and sounds. As we devour our way through this vibrant community, I will guide you to discover Chinatown's enigmatic and assiduous past, and the commitment of its residents to building a better life for the next generation. This tour offers a taste of a variety of Chinese food and can be tailored to your dietary preferences. Please make sure to inform me at least 24 hours before the tour if you need customization.
We will meet at Think!Chinatown, start our adventure in the new part of Chinatown called "Little Fuzhou" and make our way into the nucleus of Chinatown: the intersections of Mott Street, Pell Street and the infamous Doyers Street. You will meet some fascinating historical figures along the way. The tour will conclude at Columbus Park, the center of "Five Points", a densely populated, crime infested slum existed for more than 70 years. Total walking distance is about 1 mile and lasts up to 3 hours. We will sample 4-5 dishes originated and evolved from the 8 main regional cuisines in China, such as dumplings, noodles and more. This tour is a delicious treat, as well as a time travel of an immigration saga, it is a time and taste tested adventure. My customers always rate it as the best and highlight of their trips. Dress according to weather, put on your walking shoes, come hungry and let's go to Chinatown!
