A Brief Guide to NYC’s Various Chinatowns

With the largest Chinese population in any city outside of Asia, New York city is home to multiple Chinatowns. There’s the original one in Manhattan, Flushing in Queens, and Sunset Park in Brooklyn. And more hubs are growing—Flushing has bled into Elmhurst, and Sunset Park paved the way for Bay Ridge and Bensonhurst. To me, Flushing will always be superior. But I’m biased, so in the name of objectivity, I enlisted a few friends to help guide you through three of NYC’s many hubs.
