The Chinatown and Little Italy Historic District is located in downtown New York City. The Chinatown neighborhood was formed from the mid-19th to the early 20th century, a dynamic period in American history when waves of immigrants from all corners of the world came to New York seeking opportunity. Immigration to New York City far outweighed that in any other city in the United States and New York City’s Chinatown eventually became the largest Chinatown in the U.S. In both Chinatown and Little Italy, you will be able to taste the most authentic local cuisine. These arteries are often packed with crowds on the weekends and for events like Lunar New Year celebrations.
