Neighborhood Taste Tour: Chinatown

July 19, 2009 · WCC Administr@tr · 3 Comments

Each summer, Chicago’s Chinatown transforms their main thoroughfare into a feast for the eyes, ears and tastebuds for their Chinatown Summer Festival. Today I took friends to Chinatown to learn more about the Chinese culture through food. Here are pictures of the tour I hosted, along with the various stops we made.

    Looks like a lot of fun.

    How 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!
    This 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. ๐Ÿ™‚

    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!
