Looks like a lot of fun.
ReplyDeleteHow many of these shops are run by older Chinese immigrants and their decendants, compared with those run by newer Chinese and Vietnamese-Chinese immigrants?
Looks like fun!
ReplyDeleteThis post brought back memories from my trip to Chi-town earlier this year. We loved China-Town! The aroma of chinese food slaps you in the face when you step off the train. :)
Wow, I can't believe I've never been to Chicago's Chinatown. I'm so envious. I spent 10 years working at a Chinese restaurant, that culture has made an impact on me. I never realized to what extent until my trip to Singapore this past winter. I feel so at home w/ the culture & food. Still have not acquired a liking for durian...pe-euw! Maybe my next trip to Chicago in September I can meet up w/ my Chinese friend from S'pore who lives in Chicago for 1/2 year to tour around these places you mentioned in this posting. Love your blog - so informative!
