Do you want to see the revolutionary who plotted the overthrow of 5000 years of a dynasty right here in Chinatown? Who's revered by the community and many others all over the world? It is a statue, of course - but it is something to see; just as it is to realize that Chinatown and Little Italy are much more than just chop sticks and red sauce. I knew about Chinatown when my son went to HIgh School, but I really learned more about all that Chinatown can really be with the help of my son - whose classmates were Chinese and lived here. A true neighborhood, with more than meets the eye or the palate. And it virtually surrounds Little Italy on Mulberry Street! Of course, we can shop along Canal Street, and have ice cream at the ice cream factory - but there's a feeling to the neighborhood that I can't summarize:
*Beginning our tour at Canal Street and Broadway, we shall walk up Broadway to Howard Street, and walk east to Centre Street. *We may drop in to the Museum of the Chinese in America (MOCA) and walk up to Grand Street and the old Police Headquarters. *We will walk up Grand (or Broome - we shall see!) and across Mulberry - and pay a visit to Little Italy - and to Mott Street and the intense beginning of Chinatown. *Turning right onto Mott, we shall walk past the many open-air markets for fish and vegetables - some of which may be entirely new to you. Once reaching Canal Street we will turn and cross Canal at Elizabeth Street. *We will have opportunities to taste some dumplings - and ice cream - by the time we arrive at Columbus Park and the great community of Chinese who congregate there in good weather. The ending of our tour may depend on what interests in you have been excited by our walk - maybe you'd like to visit one restaurant we passed for dinner?!
