What To Expect

Chinatown

For foodies, Chinatown is nothing short of paradise. Here, you'll find: -Mei Lai Wa: A dim sum bakery that has been the go-to spot for baked buns since the late 1960s. -Supreme Restaurant: Known for its decadent soup dumplings. -Mott St Fish Market: An informal market offering a colorful array of fresh seafood, fruits, and vegetables. -Doyers St: Once infamous as "Murderer's Alley," now known for its murals and top-notch restaurants.

Little Italy

Little Italy is a food lover’s dream and a testament to the enduring legacy of Italian immigrants in NYC: -Di Paulo’s Fine Foods: A family-owned importer of fine Italian meats and cheeses since 1925. -Cafe Roma: An institution in Little Italy, serving the community since 1891. -Nolita Pizza: Swiftly captured the hearts (and stomachs) of locals and tourists alike with its Instagram-worthy pizzas. -Caffé Palermo: Home to the "Cannoli King" for over five decades, this café offers delicate pastries that are a must-try.

Church of the Transfiguration

Completed an 1801, this little church has been a center of worship for the immigrant groups of the neighborhood for over 200 years.

Kassi made this such an enjoyable experience for our family. We had a small group which was nice so we got more time to savor the foods. I have never been to a real chinatown before and it was exactly as I imagined but I felt like I learned a lot about the culture and history behind it, while filling my belly!
