Yes, Chinatown. I remember going there are day camp trips. We would go into some stores and buy tiny paper parasols which broke very quickly. I didn't buy anything this time. I just took pictures.
It was nothing like my memories.

And I Found Myself in...
I'm no expert in downtown (versus midtown where I had lived as a college student and always visit) New York City-Manhattan. I went downtown to find a certain bank near the City Hall area and found myself by the wrong branch. And I was suddenly in a neighborhood I hadn't been in for many decades.

Fun photos! I've never been to Chinatown in NY, but I've walked through the one in Boston.
ReplyDeleteA lot of what we knew as the Lower East Side growing up has now become part of Chinatown.
ReplyDeleteThere's a good Chinese department store on Broadway above Canal St, Pearl River Trading Co.
ReplyDeleteLeora, it may be a fun place for you to go to. It's not all that far.
ReplyDeleteBracha, I didn't grow up going to the Lower East Side. It's foreign territory for me.
Rose, ok, maybe next visit.
