What are the differences in the Chinatowns of NYC?
The heart of Manhattan’s Chinatown is traditionally oriented toward the old-time Cantonese population, with a Fujianese boom spreading toward the east, into the Lower East Side. Sunset Park is more diverse, which Fujianese, Cantonese, and others sharing the streets. In Flushing, you see a lot more Mandarin speakers, from Taiwan, Beijing, Sichuan and other parts of Chinese. Look forward to Part 2 of the Interview with Andrew Coe soon!
