Here's a Bowery + Chinatown NYC 4K Walking Tour. We walk through Chinatown on Bowery on this New York City VLOG.

Bowery

The most characteristic feature of the Bowery is its nightlife, which has been formed by the many bars, restaurants and clubs that have taken over the neighborhood in recent years. Bars like the famous "Proletariat" already belong to the neighborhood as much as the Charging Bull belongs to Wall Street.

Chinatown NYC

New York's Chinatown (and Chinatown market) is located on New York's Lower East Side and encompasses Canal Street, Mott Street, Pell Street and Doyers, among others. Once in Manhattan you can't miss it and on a sightseeing tour of Manhattan it is a 100% must see on the list of things to do in NYC.

Currently 150,000 citizens of Chinese origin live in New York's Chinatown. It is estimated that in total there are about 300,000 Chinese in the Big Apple, of which only 50% speak English. The Chinatown of NYC is the largest in the United States and is a must for those who want to learn more about the culture of the Asian giant.

It is not known exactly when the first Chinese arrived in New York, the only thing that is certain is that they began to become habitual of the imports of the Port of New York around the year 1847. About 25 years later, Chinese immigrants working in construction dictated railroads in California. The Chinese community has historically been a very closed community and these immigrants from the beginning sought to settle in the areas where their compatriots already lived, thus creating the Chinatown that we still know today in southern Manhattan near the Financial District.

Later, in the year 1965, the immigration laws for Asians were softened and Chinatown began to grow and massify. The immigrants wanted to keep their culture as pure as possible and created their own China on the banks of the Hudson. The neighborhood is governed by its own internal organization both cultural, political and social. Nobody doubts anymore that Chinatown is a world apart within New York and as we have said before many of its inhabitants barely speak English, even though they have only known home in New York.
