Forest Glen Posted August 9, 2010 Share #9 Posted August 9, 2010 I obviously like the main Chinatown in Manhattan. There's an arcade on Mott Street as well as the various restaurants on Canal Street. I also like the Chinatown in Flushing. Since I attend CUNY Law and there's no cafeteria on campus, I sometimes eat lunch in Flushing's Chinatown.

Cait Sith Posted August 10, 2010 Share #14 Posted August 10, 2010 While it might not be as bad as that, it is still disgusting. Cant argue with that, but nowadays they are really trying to clean up that area, since the DOT came through with the bike lanes and the new traffic patterns & the massive complaints from residents, things have been getting more cleaner now around the area during the after-hours.
