I've been to pearl river mart but recently heard of a mall in chinatown that is similar.

Does anyone know where it is? thanks!

Which Chinatown?

In Manhattan

thanks

Yes, this is it:
Great Wall City
277 Canal Street, 2nd & 3rd Floor

I think its name may have been changed recently, though.

I've never heard of this place. What kind of stores are we talking about?

Pearl River did indeed move, it's now a couple of blocks off Canal on a street near the west end of Canal, I can't exactly remember which streets but now the prices are higher and the stuff's not as good, IMHO. There is another store that is occupying the same space as the original Pearl River upstairs at the corner of Bdwy and Canal but I didn't catch the name. It looks remarkably just like Pearl River, absolutely no difference.
