Did you know Chinatown was created in the late 180

Did you know Chinatown was created in the late 1800s as a refuge for survival?

While the area was already immigrant-heavy and inhabited by the Irish and freed African Americans, many Chinese immigrants out West were forced out at the end of the Gold Rush and came together on the island of Manhattan, along the streets of Mott, Pell and Doyers.

From 1859 through the 1870s, the Chinese population in Lower Manhattan grew by 1233.33% and, as you know, the Chinatown of today is much different than the Chinatown of yesterday and, now, incorporates many aspects from other Asian cultures. 🏮

I've said this before and I'll say it again my favorite neighborhood to visit in any major U.S. city is Chinatown. It's the easiest and fastest way to leave the country without really leaving the country. It's also one of the first places I learned to photograph in New York City. Everything is a subject!

Aside from the delicious food, boba and crazy amount of history behind every street corner and turn, my favorite part about Chinatowns are the memories each neighborhood holds --- from first dates to late night hangouts everybody has a Chinatown story.

I recently partnered up with @TripAdvisor and am excited to share my favorite Chinatown finds, because, sometimes, the best exploration we can do is in our own backyard. #TripAdvisor #TheresGoodOutThere

Hate of any kind and towards any group of people is unacceptable.

Praying for the Asian community as it contends with a rise in Anti-Asian hate crimes and choosing to be an ally rather than a bystander.
