Location: Chinatown is located in Downtown Manhattan. Unlike neighboring Little Italy, Chinatown is continually expanding. The border between the two has all but disappeared and Chinatown now stretches from City Hall to Grand Street (by some accounts even further, to Delancey St). Bowery is probably still the technical western border of Chinatown above Canal Street, but most Little Italy blocks east of Mulberry feature signs in Chinese. Character: The heart of Chinatown, Canal Street, is known as a popular low-end shopping area with hundreds of shops and street vendors lining up the sidewalks, offering (seemingly) almost everything at bargain prices. Demographics: Just like in most other large North American cities, Chinatown is named as such due to most of its residents' ethnicity. Today, both first- and second-generation Chinese Americans call it home, along with thousands of hipsters priced out of just about every other neighborhood.
