Everyone has their own idea of what they want to do and see once they land in NYC. Go to a Broadway show, shop on 5th Avenue, take a stroll through Central Park, spot a few celebrities or indulging in a meal at one of the famous top chef restaurants. All these things are at the top of my list when I think about visiting NYC.
But at the very top of my list is a visit to Chinatown. I can feel my ancestors stir in me when I immerse myself in the culture, pushing and shoving my way through the crowds and feeling comfortably confused listening to the boisterous language of the Chinese that sounds more like shouting than talking. Attempting to blend in with the crowd choosing not to speak too often and give away my American roots.
