In this new video tour, New York Habitat introduces you to Chinatown in New York City, “the small city within The City”. So what makes Chinatown so special? Let’s find out. Chinatown is located on the East Side of Lower Manhattan. It’s constantly growing, over taking other neighborhoods and changing, but as of now it is roughly bordered by Broome Street to the North, Broadway to the West, Worth Street and East Broadway to the South, and Essex Street to the East. Chatham Square: What better place to start our tour of Chinatown than in Chatham Square. Once a large open air market in the early 1800′s, it became a center for tattoo parlors, flophouses, and saloons in the mid 1800′s, but today has turned into a major intersection in Chinatown.
