Chinatown is a neighborhood located in Manhattan bordering TriBeCa, Little Italy, the Lower East Side and SoHo.
Bursting with popular Chinese and Pan-Asian restaurants, stores and food markets, Manhattan's Chinatown is both a residential and commercial center for Chinese residents numbering between 150,000 and 250,000 strong. Though historically packed with buildings dating to before the turn of the century, a fresh infusion of interest in development has lead to a number of new housing options popping up for residents.
