Chinatown
Map of Chinatown
One of the city's densest and most vibrant neighborhoods, Chinatown pulses with the energy of locals and visitors. Produce stalls, herb shops, and Chinese-trinket stores spill out onto the sidewalk, and bakeries and restaurants packed side-by-side compete for customers. The sidewalks buzz with pedestrians, and Chinatown is definitely a walking neighborhood -- driving here is difficult and parking nigh impossible. Take time to explore the alleyways, where pagoda-style roofs top temples, apartments, and basement gambling parlors.
