In Grand street It is where you will see more Chinese since not only are all the stores theirs, but almost all of them live there and are usually there since there are many food stores, especially fishmongers.

Finally, in the heart of Chinatown you will meet Moot Street, a parallel to Broadway Avenue and that crosses the entire neighborhood from north to south, so it is ideal for you to take it from one end to be able to go through the entire neighborhood on the same street and on your return wander through several.
