Chinatown

Chinatown is the cultural hub for Chinese culture and commerce. Historically, the area was once tidal flats - but today has been transformed into a thriving community brimming with shops, restaurants, and residential living. In Chinatown, naturally, there are many options to enjoy Asian cuisine - like dim sum palaces, dumpling houses, and seafood spots. Chinatown Gate is a tourist attraction that even the locals love. The entrance into Chinatown is marked by beautiful architecture - a photo op for the taking. The beginning of the Rose Kennedy Greenway, a winding park in the community, starts at the Chinatown gate. A few blocks of this area are nicknamed the Leather District, where in the past leather manufacturing took place in large warehouses, and where today these spaces are being claimed by an emerging modern restaurant area.

There is a variety of choices for Asian cuisine in Chinatown. Restaurants to hit up include New Dong Khanh Restaurant, Shabu Zen, Gourmet Dumpling House, and The Q. Bars in the area host some of the best nightlife - including The Tam, Avery Bar, Sip Wine Bar and Kitchen, and Corner Pub. Chinatown is perfect for anyone looking for a neighborhood with an exciting personality, jam-packed with delicious Asian-inspired eateries.
