The District

Vibrant colors. Vibrant flavors. Vibrant people. The “little city within the big city” has been a thriving and bustling community since the mid-1800s, with 80–year-old restaurants and open-air markets standing side-by-side with brand-new performance spaces and art galleries. Chinatown blends the old with the new—seamlessly mixing the trendiest restaurants, clubs, and brands with tried-and-true favorites like noodles, dim sum, and barbecue.
