Experience Chinatown like a local!
Come on Down! I grew up on these small streets of Chinatown but had big adventures along the way and would love for you to join me! My Chinese (Hong Kong born) lips and tongue can literally tell you where the best places are to eat and shop.
I will show you some of my personal favorites and lesser-known places! Recommendations on restaurants, spa services, and a brief history will be provided. There will be bits of history and culture. Come hungry -- we will not have a sit down meal but we can stop by at places to get small bites. We will be visiting two establishments for quick tastings.
Sites include:
* A-Wah Restaurant
* Confucius Statue
* Lin Zexu Statue
* A secret passage way
* Another passage way filled with food
* Yan Lin Foot Spa
* Shanghai Gourmet
* Coluck Restaurant
* Yuen Yuen Restaurant
* ABC Restaurant
* Golden Fung Wong Bakery
* 88 Palace
Our starting point is Lin Zexu Statue located at the Kim Lau Memorial Arch near Chatham Square. The closest trains are 4,5,6 (Brooklyn Bridge), F (East Broadway). M15 (not Select Services) and M103 will be very close as well.
For: New Yorkers and out of towners alike who want to experience an authentic Chinatown with a guide who grew up in the area. People who appreciate long time establishments that are not chains.
Two quick bites to eat in a dimsum parlor or dumplings place and an old school Chinese bakery.
Reviews
I learned more about Ming, her life in Chinatown & the history of the neighborhood on this tour than I have in the last three years of being friends with her. Her knowledge is unrivaled. The places she takes you to are secret. The food she introduces you to will will blow your mind and leave money in your pocket. What more can one ask for? 18 other people of the inaugural tour agree with me. For an authentic experience from someone who has lived this experience, Big Ming is your guide. Join her.
