Chinatown is huge over there, and more diverse than people realize! Fuzhou is its own province with its own unique language, albeit somewhat similar sounding to Cantonese.
29:14 Great view of the Manhattan Bridge and good timing with subway passing by! 😍🌉 This was so interesting to see as I never knew there are shop right underneath the Manhattan Bridge! It was nice seeing the shops and restaurants, and hopefully, the businesses will survive here. 🙏 Thank you for sharing the history and this walk through Little Fuzhou Chinatown and Two Bridges, AK! 🤗
Great walk as always! Thank you for sharing with us this part of city😍 I have never been in USA , so these virtual tours are very interesting for me👍👍👍
Grew up in, and worked in this area. Chinatown literally began at Worth St./Chatham Square, ended at Canal, and vice versa. Beyond Canal was Little Italy. Going East from Chatham Square, along Catherine Street, and towards the East River, were mostly Italians. Over the years, they either died, or moved out, and Chinatown extended into the area (Market/Monroe streets). thanks for posting; brings back fond memories of my childhood.
Superb video once again, Kid. Most interesting and so well narrated. You’re also always so polite. Great camera, too. You should be known as Action KING !!!
Wow I remember that East Broadway mall in the early 90s was a busy place same as the Chinatown areas around there I've done lots of business with those in that area I'm saddened to see it's mostly vacant now!! Wow I used to shop at that pathmark!!
@ActionKid Wow I'm praying they can turn it around or the city could help them with some assistance in getting it back up and running would even be better. 🙏
The East Broadway Mall-30 or 40 plus years ago it was concert hall/movie theater. I remember my mom went to a cantonese opera show there. It was packed. The Holiday in near the Manhattan bridge also use to be a chinese movie theater.
As always nice walk , even though there’s quite many closed down restaurants ! Still lots of eateries left which is good but for not the closed down places ….😟!!! Thank you A K for sharing 👍!!!
Ohhh yey :D, more live stream, this is gonna be awesome, can't believe it's almost Chinese New Year, I hope you having a great day with your family and friends during Chinese New Year AK, stay safe!✨
It's sad that most downtown Chinatowns throughout cities across America are FILTHY and rundown. Most buildings are dilapidated and defaced with GRAFITTI. Most streets are filled with trash and unkept on daily basis. However, the only bright notes are its kind and humble people and the delicious food.
I love your videos, and I’m sure I saw you on 5th Avenue in November last year when I visited NYC. Would love if you made a compilation of the times you crossed the FDNY units.
We all like change ,but this is so sad to see a community and businesses that has a long history leave due to high rental prices. Wish them all the best ,thanks for the walk AK .
You Should do a video on Finding a place for rent . and the price of places . for people who are looking to move there . and the good area to live . it's an idea 👍🇨🇦
Thank you Kenneth for this video. Sad to see such a large area so depressed. Maybe there is a need to plan this area again and develop it from the ground up. After so many years, times is up for a total development where both business, people and government should be involved in it. Otherwise, this area is inviting bad elements and police activity that will not be good for the area. You did a good job showing this area as is.
You're welcome. It's tough to see this area which was once brimming with activity in the 90s and early 2000s just become more depressed. I really hope this part of Chinatown gets changed for the better.
@@hkraytai No, it is time for people to improve their lives and areas. This is an advanced country and not a 3rd World country and should not support such defeating attitude. Young people should start to move to change and improve.
Your videos are making me hungry, saw your restaurant row video yesterday and now this one today at lunch! Four Four South has a Toronto location (loction) SIC, which will work.
yes.. CHAT AM.......and For Sighth ( Forsyth) Street.........I grew up in the area...I do not like to correct people on a live. But since you brought it up...
Asians Chinese contribute sacrifice n care for Amerikkka than both white n black add together but our hood town n cities get little fund for everything like this memorials is ridiculous so tiny n even abandoned while white hoods get all amenities utilities libraries park like heaven but just residents place no business pay lot tax for it. Im surprised this memorials with such word to honor Chinese American sacrifice for USA way back then, ahead their time.
Wrong to have such large enclaves of any community or group racial linguistic or religious or whatever While multiculturalusm is good and progressive ghettoization goes against the primary benefit of multiculturalism Legal provisions must be invoked to change the face of all such enclaves of various groups asap
Interesting walk! I enjoy it when you show us these lesser known neighborhoods.
Thank you!

Yes, it's a huge section of Chinatown, although it's rapidly disappearing.

Thanks! The East Broadway Mall is in danger of closing up for good and the city reclaiming the property. Hopefully it can be saved.
Hey Kenneth... Thank so much for video and the explanation.. Love it so much
Great walk as always! Thank you for sharing with us this part of city😍 I have never been in USA , so these virtual tours are very interesting for me👍👍👍
You're very welcome!

It's sad to see the East Broadway Mall in the condition it's in now. I heard it's in danger of being taken over by the city since it's their property.
@ActionKid Wow I'm praying they can turn it around or the city could help them with some assistance in getting it back up and running would even be better. 🙏
China Town NYC has its cutting edge for culinary experience from various provinces..Nice walk Ken... regards from Malaysia
To come from Queens to the Lower East Side this early....Action Kid is very dedicated to his channel.
Lovely quiet walk. I am always happy to see people staying hi 👋 to you. Thanks for sharing 👍 🥰
It was a great walk😍😍😍😍😍
I enjoyed watching 🚶♀️🚶♂️🚶♀️🚶♂️💕

I haven't been to NY in ages but the first place i wanted to see and experience was Chinatown 🔥🙏🏽
Yeah that PathMark was there years and years ago. We went in there one time before a family road trip but gosh was it a while back
A great video as always !! well done!!😍
Yeah ,so fancy spots out there !!!
Your job is very great , thank you for shared , congratulation sir.
Thank you for sharing! Great walking.👍 Chinatown and I was there loved it 😀🗽❤❄👍🙋
I think I see Chatham Tower behind the statue. I spent several Yeats there with one of my aunts in the mid to late 70's.
Great video! Also for One Manhattan Square, it won't be lonely as the Two Bridges supertalls get approved and constructed eventually.
My dad had an electronic store on 7-8 Chatham Square in 1954. He told me he rode the 3 Rd Ave El..
10:47 is known as a traffic light avoiding shortcut if you are going that direction.
As always nice walk , even though there’s quite many closed down restaurants ! Still lots of eateries left which is good but for not the closed down places ….😟!!! Thank you A K for sharing 👍!!!
You're welcome! Thanks for watching.

It's always sad to see how nyc chinatown is dying, it used to be so full of life and had a distinct busy noise that was kinda calming.
It's tough to see the changes, especially in this section of Chinatown.
Thanks for sharing
We all like change ,but this is so sad to see a community and businesses that has a long history leave due to high rental prices. Wish them all the best ,thanks for the walk AK .
It's tough, I wish something more can be done about the large amounts of vacant businesses and storefronts in this area.
I absolutely agree 👍 much 💛
HAPPY YEAR of the TIGER 🐅 2022

Any improvements mean existing residents won’t be able to afford it. It’s a safe neighbourhood.

Awesome video, i haven’t been there in a minute. I need to visit that area again. I guess east broadway mall is taking a big hit.

You crossed a few streets but you did not mention them. It was confusing where you are taking us.
It would be great to have a fundraiser to renovate the Chinese memorial and make it more park like.
23:45 practice field
17:28 - Oscar the grouch’s home…
Isn’t it pronounced “Chat am” Square and not “Chath am” Square?
I worked on the original design for Chatham Towers, 60+ years ago!
yes.. CHAT AM.......and For Sighth ( Forsyth) Street.........I grew up in the area...I do not like to correct people on a live. But since you brought it up...
Hey AK!!
It would be nice if you could re-visit during the day.
Реклам много
I Love FDNY THEY ARE THERE TO HEIP PEOPLE

That was profundity that only a few will understand.
Actionkid's videos are messages displayed in simplistic form to reach the masses.
Why are so many people wearing masks out in the open air? Seems silly and unnecessary!
