Trace the evolution of eateries in Chinatown, highlighting stories of diversity, legacy, and evolution!
About this Event

Restaurants have always played an essential role in New York City's Chinatown. Trace the evolution of eateries in Chinatown, highlighting stories of diversity—the flavors of China’s regional cuisines converging in New York City; stories of legacy—Chinatown’s sons and daughters who grew up to be entrepreneurs and restaurateurs; and stories of evolution—a constant weaving between the classic and modern, the old and the new.

Walking tours leave promptly from the main lobby at 215 Centre Street, NY, NY 10013. They are best for children ages 12 and up. Tickets include admission to the museum before and/or after your tour.

Tickets: $25/adult, $15/adult 65 & up, $15/student (with valid ID), free for children under 5. MyMOCA Members receive one free walking tour per year. After that, tickets may be purchased at a rate of $15/member.

Advanced RSVP required. Day of tickets may be available, pending availability.
