      You did a video about the Lower East Side, but totally ignored Alphabet City. What up with that?!? 🤔 How can you miss the neighborhood that borders Houston Street in the south to 14th Street to the North and the River in the east to Avenue A in the west? Dude, step up your game! 😎

    a cool thing you can do in lion dance parades (only lion dance parades) is if you have a red envelope, you can feed the lion it and it will do a simple dance for you. you can also take picture as well depending on which group of lion dancing group your going to.

    You missed Elizabeth center is an underground Asian shops filled with cute things, Japanese plushies, jewelry, cosmetics, etc. And another bubble tea/donut/coffee shop called "Alibaba" they sell delicious donuts and variety of bubble tea flavors!

      Unfortunately, the Elizabeth Center is a shadow of its former self. 10 years ago, all the shops were open, and last I had went there a couple of years back, more than half the storefronts were empty.

    I remember living here in the late 80's, and early 90's! I was in elementary school then and went to P.S. 1 elementary school. Being African American, it was maybe 2 or 3 other African Americans at the school at that time. I had some fun times living here, and I can't wait to visit as an adult.

    MALAY SUBTITLES : Part 5 of 6
    14:05
    hampir selesai di Pekan Cina yang baru kita lakukan
    14:07
    berjaya ke jalan yang bernama Grand Street
    14:09
    sekarang Grand Street adalah Jalan lain yang
    14:10
    jenis meregangkan secara keseluruhan
    14:12
    Pekan Cina dan saya rasa malah melaluinya
    14:14
    dan salah satu bit utama yang anda mahukan
    14:16
    untuk menerokai di sini di Grand Street adalah tepat
    14:17
    jenis berjalan-jalan itu lebih senyap
    14:19
    akhirnya mereka memikirkan Terusan dan anda boleh datang
    14:21
    di sini dan juga memakan Kampung Itali
    14:23
    yang lain adalah kawasan kejiranan kita
    14:24
    akan menyentuh sedikit demi sedikit tetapi
    14:25
    pasti jalan yang anda mahukan
    14:27
    lihat dan ada satu tempat tertentu
    14:28
    dan saya ingin membawa kalian ke sini seperti kita
    14:31
    tamatkan lawatan Pekan Cina kami sehingga tempat terakhir kami
    14:32
    di sini di Pekan Cina yang saya cadangkan
    14:34
    lawatan adalah jenis lubang di dinding
    14:35
    tempat itu dipanggil Singapura Malaysia
    14:36
    Beef Jerky dan mereka mengatakan tempat di mana mereka
    14:38
    membuat dan mencipta daging salai sendiri
    14:40
    mereka mempunyai gaya yang berbeza dan berbeza
    14:41
    rasa dan sangat sedap dan sedap
    14:43
    murah jadi kita akan mendapat satu bahagian terakhir
    14:45
    untuk menamatkan masa kita di sini di Pekan Cina
    14:47
    pad jadi begini rupa
    14:48
    ia sangat berbeza daripada suka
    14:49
    orang Amerika tradisional
    14:52
    satu dolar untuk sekeping ini jelas jika
    14:54
    anda mendapat lebih banyak nilai melaluinya
    14:56
    oh ya ampun
    14:58
    Saya mendapat makanan ringan sepanjang hari itu
    14:59
    sungguh luar biasa jadi ya itulah akhirnya
    15:01
    masa kita di sini di video Pekan Cina adalah
    15:03
    tidak lebih dari kita sebenarnya mempunyai beberapa lagi
    15:05
    lingkungan kejiranan yang lebih kecil
    15:06
    yang saya rasa tidak dibenarkan
    15:08
    asingkan video jadi saya hanya akan melingkar
    15:09
    mereka ke dalam video ini mari masuk ke dalam kami
    15:11
    kawasan kejiranan bonus yang ada di sini
    15:13
    kawasan yang pertama adalah Little Italy
    15:15
    ini adalah Little Italy secara harfiah a
    15:16
    lima saat berjalan dari tempat ia berada
    15:18
    Pekan Cina tetapi pasti tidak begitu
    15:19
    sebesar Pekan Cina jauh lebih kecil
    15:21
    tetapi apa yang anda dapati di sini adalah banyak
    15:23
    seperti restoran Itali yang mendalam dan
    15:25
    kedai tempatan anda akan dapati semua
    15:27
    pastri semua kepingan keju
    15:29
    tempat yang ingin anda lawati dan banyak
    15:30
    daripadanya seperti yang diberi nilai tertinggi
    15:32
    di bandar jadi sejuk untuk datang dan
    15:34
    lihat itu bukan sesuatu yang anda boleh
    15:35
    menghabiskan saya fikir berjam-jam atau hari meneroka
    15:37
    seperti yang anda boleh di Pekan Cina tetapi ia adalah
    15:39
    kawasan yang sangat sejuk tetap dan anda baik
    15:40
    lihat bagaimana seni bina dan
    15:42
    gaya untuk restoran tempat
    15:44
    ubah detik anda menyeberang ke
    15:45
    Little Italy jadi kita akan menjadi
    15:47
    beralih dari kejiranan ini a
    15:49
    sedikit italia di mana kita berada sekarang
    15:50
    ke tempat yang dipanggil soho memang ada
    15:52
    hanya satu tempat yang ingin saya tunjukkan kepada anda
    15:54
    Soho atau mungkin dua yang saya fikir baik
    15:56
    perlu diberi perhatian terutama bagi pelancong yang
    15:57
    datang melawat kita akan beralih dengan
    15:59
    kejiranan itu sekarang baik-baik saja
    16:00
    kami berjaya sampai di Prince Street di sini
    16:02
    di Soho dan ada satu makanan tertentu
    16:05
    pilihan di sini bahawa saya ingin menunjukkan kepada anda semua
    16:06
    kerana saya fikir ia sebenarnya memerlukan
    16:09
    kek untuk salah satu pizza terbaik di Bandar Raya New
    16:11
    York itulah yang dinamakan Putera
    16:12
    Pizza jalanan sangat terkenal di sana
    16:14
    selalu keluar dari pintu dan itu
    16:15
    sebenarnya salah satu perkara yang saya benci
    16:16
    garis Saya fikir ia bernilai garis
    16:18
    ia adalah kepingan pizza yang sangat bagus
    16:21
    baiklah kita mendapat Putera yang terkenal
    16:24
    Pizza jalanan perkara ini seperti 20
    16:25
    minit untuk mendapatkannya adalah kepingan sempurna
    16:30
    walaupun harga $ 3.30 bernilai 20
    16:32
    tunggu sebentar agak lama tapi semuanya
    16:33
    rentak berita ini sangat baik dan sangat bagus
    16:35
    bahkan tidak mahal anda akan menyangka
    16:36
    akan menjadi lebih mahal jadi saya memang ada
    16:38
    untuk mengesyorkannya supaya saya tidak
    16:39
    hantar anda ke Soho sampai ke sini sahaja
    16:41
    untuk berdiri dalam barisan selama 20 minit
    16:42
    sekeping pizza tetapi saya membawa anda ke sini
    16:44
    kerana ini seperti hipster
    16:46
    ibu kota membeli-belah di New York City atau di
    16:48
    Manhattan paling rendah ia adalah bernilai
    16:50
    datang ke sini untuk melihat seni jalanan
    16:52
    dan nikmati orang yang menonton juga
    16:54
    melakukan belanja jika anda mempunyai anggaran
    16:56
    untuk itu tetapi ada satu perkara lagi
    16:57
    benar-benar menjadikan Soho Soho
    16:59
    dan itulah jenis batu bulat
    17:01
    jalan-jalan yang anda ada di sini
    17:03
    orang yang anda akan melihat orang yang tidak berhenti begitu sahaja
    17:05
    berjalan melalui jalan-jalan di sini dan
    17:06
    melakukan semacam pemotretan kerana
    17:09
    jalan-jalan di sini kelihatan begitu tua dan kuno
    17:10
    terutamanya dengan bangunan di sekitar tetapi
    17:12
    ia adalah sesuatu yang sangat menggembirakan
    17:13
    sangat mengagumkan untuk melihatnya
    17:14
    bersama sekarang sebelum kita mengenai perkara video ini
    17:22
    baiklah saya akan berjalan batu batu ini
    17:23
    jalan-jalan balik ke rumah sebenarnya tidak
    17:25
    Saya mungkin akan berjalan ke kereta api bawah tanah

    You are doing yourself a disservice by not going to Jing Fong for dim sum. It is my go to dim sum place in Chinatown. And yes, it can be busy (take a number and wait) on weekends, but they will move people in and out quickly. You can either go really early, or go later (get there after 1:30 or 2 and you can easily get seated right away). They do the dim sum carts until 3 or 4 pm, so you won't miss much. If you are looking at doing dinner there on the weekend, I would highly recommend calling first. Many times the restaurant is booked for wedding banquets so it will be closed. My other go to place for dim sum is Joy Luck Palace on Mott Street just north of Canal Street.

    @lowderra 5 років тому +3

    This is great, I was wondering when you would do Chinatown! The parade is possibly to celebrate the community of people from Fujian Province. There isn’t a lot going there as far as jobs, so a lot of people from Fujian province move to the US and Canada. Primarily to work in Chinese buffets, and takeout places, and once they attain enough English, they move to smaller towns to open their own restaurants. Child labor is still pretty common, anything from putting lids on food containers to making dumplings to eventually working the phone or register. The Chinatown bus systems originally were created to ferry workers (and Chinese restaurant supplies) from the larger cities to smaller towns with jobs available, nearly ALL from Fujian province. I think the Lucky Star to the side of the Buddhist temple is the 3rd oldest bus system. Probably more than you wanted to know, huh?

    Should definitively go to East Boardway Mall. It's right under the subway, and it gets super busy. There's also many shops and restaurants within the mall. There's a big dim sum restaurant within the mall and it is probably the most popular restaurant near that area.

      Where the old Sun Sing Theater used to be....and the turf wars in that theater. That movie theater was iconic to chinatown, (as well as Music Palace, and I think, the Pagoda Palace?? theater).
      The body counts at Sun Sing theater though...
      Wow. brings back memories from the 1970's and 1980's. All gone now.

    This was awesome favorite places that I always drive through but never get to stop and take it all in. I’ve got little things here and there but I’ve never taken in the full scope of it the next time I go back I will make a whole day trip and try every food they have.
    Thank you for making this awesome video

    great vid but you did forget one iconic eatery, this one (read on) and Jing Fong Restaurant are two of the places I remember going with my family when I was a kid and that was many years ago, lol. If your going to get ice cream in Chinatown this is the place you need to go, The Chinatown Ice cream Factory, 65 BAYARD ST. These two places are places I always took friends when down there. I agree for tourists they should visit Chinatown during the Lunar New year or during the Autumn if only to avoid the searing heat down there during the Summer but I love Chinatown too so anytime of the year it's a fun excursion to get some yummy food and pick up some things to eat at home as well as some other fun items from the various shops.

      Born and raised in Chinatown, NYC. U wear SNEAKERS. It's a given. No other shoes will be more comfortable.
      If ur not wearing sneakers in Chinatown or NYC, ur not a true born-and-raised-in-NYC native.
      I'm not saying tourists wont wear sneakers, but even after leaving NYC--a born native returning will always wear sneakers when returning to the old nabe. It's just THE most comfortable shoe for walking the concrete jungle of NYC. Sneakers have BOUNCE when pounding the pavement of NY.

    Jing Fong for authentic dim sum on weekends, this place is humongous, looks like a ballroom dancing hall inside...the chicken feet tasted bland though..but maybe that's how authentic is supposed to taste like? and not the Americanized version I got used to? Hehe It's worth a visit even just for the experience.

    You also forgot to point out that the Five Points area that was made famous in the Leo DeCaprio movie "Gangs of New York" essentially comprised a large portion of Chinatown, with the center of it pretty darn close to Columbus Park (the park you went to in Chinatown). The southern portion are where all of the government buildings now sit.
