Chinatown: Lower Manhattan's Century-Old Enclave
Manhattan's Chinatown occupies the area south and east of Canal Street, bounded roughly by Broadway, Grand Street, Worth Street, and the Bowery. Population in the traditional core is around 90,000, though the concentrated Chinese-language community has expanded north into parts of Little Italy and east across what remains of the Lower East Side. The neighborhood was first established in the mid-1800s as Cantonese migrants settled in the area despite restrictive immigration laws.
Mott, Pell, Mulberry, Doyers, and Bayard Streets form the historic core. Doyers Street, with its sharp bend, was once known as the "bloody angle" during the tong wars of the early 20th century and has more recently become a pedestrianized block. The Museum of Chinese in America on Centre Street documents Chinese immigration and life in the United States from the 19th century forward.
Since the 1965 Immigration Act eased restrictions on Asian immigration, the neighborhood has diversified to include Taiwanese, Hong Kong, Fujianese, and Vietnamese residents and businesses. Restaurants along East Broadway cater heavily to the Fujianese community, while Cantonese remains dominant in the older commercial core.
