Although outsiders often see Chinatown as unchanging, it is a diverse and dynamic community. Manhattan\u2019s Chinatown emerged in the early 1870s, when Chinese merchants established themselves at the eastern edge of the Five Points area. A varied restaurant culture quickly emerged: some Chinese-owned restaurants in Chinatown served Western food, while others offered the cuisine of Guangdong (Canton), the home province of the vast majority of Chinese immigrants.
\nJoin us at the Chatham Square branch of the New York Public Library for a panel discussion on Chinatown’s dynamic culinary past and continuing evolution with food writer Francis Lam, James Beard Award-nominated cookbook author Kian Lam Kho, Executive Director of the Chinatown Partnership Wellington Z. Chen, and restaurateur Wilson Tang.<\/p>\n
