Shopping
in Chinatown and Shop
Online
Shopping in Chinatown
is a joy. Almost all Chinese goods found in China can be found here, including
food, clothes, jewelry, souvenirs, etc. On the north side of Canal
Street are many jewelry stores while on the south of Canal Street are
small gift, handbag, perfume, watch stores and big supermarkets, etc. Mott
Street and its surrounding streets are the best places to shop where most
of things can be bargained. If you want to join native Chinese, you can
shop on East Broadway Street. If you are good at Chinese cooking
or want to try it, buy authentic Chinese food in Chinatown, and you will
find the difference in tasting. You can buy good food in the following
stores:
Kam Kuo,
7 Mott St. (near Chatham Square), 349-3097: large, two-story emporium
with a full range of groceries on the street level and dinnerware, decorative
