Welcome to Chinatown!
We’re so glad you made it.

The streets of Chinatown are vibrant, multisensory, eclectic and to many – home. There is so much more to learn and to love about Chinatown, beyond “cheap eats” and tchotchkes.

Our community is its own ecosystem that continues to serve incredibly important socio-economic functions: as a gateway and a home, as a guardian of art, history and culture, and as a refuge from discrimination. We invite you to MEET CHINATOWN, and honor the people and businesses that have shaped the past, present, and future of this heritage gem.

Explore all the local favorites and must-see destinations with our small business directory.

Maybe you're curious about this neighborhood, or maybe you’re ready to find some new hidden gems. Our small business digital directory is the perfect place to start.
