Things to Do in Chinatown NYC

By Josiah Keller · On October 24, 2013

Throughout the United States’ history, immigrants have always banded together with others of their nationality to form communities. The Chinese communities have always been well defined, and a welcome contrast from traditional European-American society. New York’s Chinatown is no exception! Dozens of restaurants serve delicious Asian and Chinese cuisine, and the Jewelry District has some of the finest gems, bracelets, ear rings, necklaces, and rings in New York!

Explore Chinatown, by taking in the arts and culture: Chinese music and dance, bookstores, museums, sports, and a great deal more! If you wish to spend several days in Chinatown, there is an array of Asian-themed hotels for you to choose from.

If you want to get a little bit of everything in Chinatown in a single day, a printable guide can be found at ExploreChinatown.com The Chinese new year celebrations are an especially good time to enjoy Chinatown. The Lunar New Year Parade is an experience like you won’t find anywhere else, with the Chinese Dragons being a key highlight. 500,000 people fill Chinatown’s streets every year for several days of Chinese new year festivities.

A map of Chinatown, and directions on how to get there can be found by clicking here.
