Join Welcome to Chinatown on a limited-run tour crafted in partnership with community experts Mott Street Girls!

About this event

We are so excited to partner with Mott Street Girls to bring you our very first Made in Chinatown walking tour, where we delve into the rich history of Chinatown and how iconic spots like Hop Lee and Grand Tea Imports shaped and impacted the people and culture of today’s Chinatown. In the 1870s, Chinatown’s growth exploded after Chinese immigrants came east to escape the violent discrimination of the Chinese Exclusion Act in California. Explore the very streets that became the center of early Chinatown, like Mott, Pell and Doyers Street, as well as some of the businesses that have partnered with Welcome to Chinatown. In addition, everyone will have an opportunity to stop by the Made in Chinatown pop-up at the end, exclusive to these tours.

Limited spots are available, offering 2 different routes for each weekend. Tours are rain or shine.

Tour Guides: Anna Huang, Hailey Savage, and Elizabeth Yan

PLEASE NOTE, FOR TOUR STARTING LOCATIONS: First weekend (Nov. 4-6th) will begin at Dreamers Coffee House. The second weekend (Nov. 11-13th) will begin at Eggloo.
