Una caminata por las calles de Chinatown

El barrio chino de Manhattan, un barrio del centro de la ciudad situado a un grito del puente Manhattan, rebosa actividad durante el horario laboral. Los puestos de producción, los herbolarios, los especialistas en carne asada, las tiendas de regalos y los encantadores restaurantes con hoyos en la pared predominan en el nivel de la calle. La señalización en chino adorna las fachadas de los edificios y los toldos de las tiendas, lo que se suma a la naturaleza internacional de la zona. Su nombre y carácter datan del siglo XIX, cuando los inmigrantes se establecieron en un grupo alrededor de Pell, Doyers y Mott Streets; desde entonces, el vecindario se ha extendido y, a pesar del auge de los otros dos barrios chinos principales de la ciudad, en Queens' Flushing y Brooklyn's Sunset Park, por no mencionar las áreas más pequeñas de esos dos distritos, sigue siendo el más atractivo para los visitantes. Hazte una idea de ello en nuestra galería de fotos.

A person in a red coat and hat walks past a Chinatown hair salon with neon signs and Asian characters, while sunlight casts shadows on the street and storefronts.

Two people walk on a city street beneath a large, golden, winged horse sculpture suspended above the intersection. The surrounding buildings are brick with signs in Chinese characters.

People walk past a bright red building with metal shutters and Chinese signage on a sunny street, casting long shadows on the sidewalk.

People walk past a bright red storefront with large yellow Chinese characters, a green tiled roof, and a painted image of a figure in blue robes. The windows display various figurines and decorations inside.

A storefront window displays various roasted meats hanging, including ducks and chickens. Reflections on the glass show people inside and also street signs reading "218-220 Grand St. NYC" and a phone number above the window.

A street scene outside a Chinese grocery store with green signage. People walk by and shop at outdoor produce tables on a sunny day. One woman in bright pink reaches for items; another shops, while a man and woman walk past.

A dimly lit restaurant scene shows three people sitting at a table with a red checkered tablecloth, as a server pours tea. Sunlight highlights the table while the background remains dark.

A busy city street lined with brick buildings, fire escapes, and colorful storefronts with Chinese signs. People walk along the sidewalk, and market stalls display goods outside the shops.

People walk past a market with a yellow and green awning on a sunny day. Some carry shopping bags, and fresh produce is displayed outside the store. The store's interior appears dark in contrast to the bright sidewalk.

A man in a blue shirt and orange cap sells produce at an outdoor market stall. He is handing a bag to a woman with long hair under a green and white umbrella. Their reflections are visible in a glass window nearby.
