Starting point, also it is our first tasting place. We will start off in Chinatown by tasting an egg tart and hot tea from Sweets Cafe.

The new statue is of Lin Zexu, who helped to ignite the Opium War by banning the drug, to the chagrin of British officials. Those who brought the Lin statue to Chatham Square say they did so to deliver a strong anti-drug message. But the statue carries a strong political message as well: it underscores the ascending power in Chinatown of immigrants from mainland China, particularly the Fujianese.

When you come to Chinatown, you naturally want to see this Confucius statue. Many colleges and universities in the United States have Confucius Institutes. The statue of Confucius in Chinatown is located at the intersection of the streets. If you come to Chinatown in New York, it is not bad to come and see this statue of Confucius. The name of the donor at that time, as well as the year and introduction of Confucius are written on the base.

Pass-by Nam Wah Tea Parlor (group picture) The original restaurant opened as a tea parlor and bakery in 1920 at 13-15 Doyers St. Located in what was nicknamed the “Bloody Angle”. The nickname stems from street’s sharp corner and warring gangs who took advantage of this.
