I've always been more of a Nipponphile than a Sinophile, though I enjoy reading books set in China and learning about Chinese culture.

It certainly has fascinated me seeing Chinatown in movies. Rush Hour comes to mind when I think of Chinatown. Now, you make me want Chinese food, which I love, and to watch Rush Hour. Great "C" post!

Little Italy used to be much larger, but as the Italians moved out, the Chinese moved it. Now it is huge... Great restaurants and stores. But as you said it has gotten quite touristy...<br /><br />I live in Chicago now and the Chinatown here is very interesting. There is actually a HUGE Oriental archway upon entering the area. Very cool. A fraction of the size of NYC and probably San Francisco, it is a charming place to spend an evening of delicious food without the crowds...<br /><br />I don't eat Chinese food anymore because of the salt and MSG, but it's fun to visit there.Michael Di Gesuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17047267262428143113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149224757183756660.post-56986441317226902912016-04-04T17:11:26.945-07:002016-04-04T17:11:26.945-07:00I haven't been to Chinatown in years.
