Fun Facts

How well do you really know Chinatown?

Answer the following questions for the chance to win prizes.

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.
