While Chinatown might seem touristy these days, it's still hiding some of the best bites in NYC...if you know where to look. Get ready to experience a food crawl that will lead you to the neighborhood's best-kept secrets (if you can keep it hush-hush).
Join New York Adventure Club as we journey through the twisted back streets of present-day Chinatown to eat at some of the neighborhood’s best culinary destinations, while learning about the highs and lows it has endured over the past several generations.
Led by prominent neighborhood expert Mike Morgenthal, our culinary experience will include:
