	Welcome, Old Friend: Rediscovering Manhattan's Chinatown
		It's Chinatown Manhattan Chinatown where the food, to my mouth at least, is as good as or better than it's ever been.
		Chinatown's star shone brightest in the 1970's and 80's, when New York City's love affair with Chinese food was at its height.
		Chinatown has grown tremendously since then, expanding to the north and east, reducing Little Italy to a quaint diorama as it has engulfed much of the Lower East Side.

	Chinatown Text (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
		We are glad in Chinatown that we have so many customers from the Fujianese province, otherwise Chinatown in Manhattan would have gone down a long time ago, especially all those big associations, those senior associations in town.
		And part of the purpose of all of this is, besides saying to academia and the community, also to people who are in power, to say this is what the general consensus or at least some of the ideas that need to be reflected.
		The first time in years, that I know of since I’ve worked in Chinatown, that we have a group from pro-Taiwan and a group from pro-communist China come to their senses that we should be working together to benefit the community.

		The Chinatown I live in, located in lower Manhattan, is known to all new immigrants as a "steppingstone" to bigger and better places.
		Chinatown is a place deeper than its looks or smells, it is a place where one's life begins and ends, it is also a place where one finds a better way of living or a place where one stops at shortly in seek of an adjustment.
		Chinatown of Manhattan is MY HOME and like the new immigrants, I know that this too is just a "stepping stone" for me into bigger and better places.

	sociology - Chinatown (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
		Chinatowns were formed in the 19th century in many areas of the United States and Canada as a result of discriminatory land laws which forbade the sale of any land to Chinese or restricted the land sales to a limited geographical area and which promoted the segregation of people of different ethnicities.
		In the past, overcrowded Chinatowns in urban areas were shunned by the general non-Chinese public as ethnic ghettoes, and therefore seen as places of vice and cultural insularism where "unassimilable foreigners" congregated.
		Most Chinatowns grew without any organized plans, while a few Chinatowns (such as the one in Las Vegas and a new one outside the city limits of Seoul, South Korea to be completed by 2005 [1]) resulted from deliberate master plans (sometimes as part of redevelopment project).

	New York Architecture Images-Manhattan Bridge
		The Manhattan Bridge's steel towers are painted a pleasing dusty blue, which when combined with the delicate suspension cables make this massive bridge seem as light and airy as the Brooklyn Bridge seems heavy and substantial.
		The Manhattan Bridge was first planned as a traditional wire-cable suspension bridge to be used exclusively by trains.
		Unlike the rigid, three-dimensional tower profiles of the Brooklyn and Williamsburg bridges, the Manhattan Bridge, which features four columns in each tower, was to have a two-dimensional tower profile.

	Civic Report 34 \| Who Really Benefits from New York City’s Rent Regulation System?
		Because residents of neighborhoods outside of the affluent part of Manhattan are not receiving significant subsidies, their rent increases would be minimal to non-existent.
		By contrast, the median subsidy in the Bronx is $58, in Upper Manhattan (including Chinatown and the Lower East Side) it is $9, and in Brooklyn it is $5, while in Queens and Staten Island the median subsidy is effectively zero.
		Manhattan is one of the most difficult places in the country in which to build new units, meaning that the expected market response to sharply rising demand—sharply increasing supply—is unavailable.

	Click opera - Chinatown
		Manhattan Chinatown is an accepted part of the Lower Manhattan landscape, and yet it retains its otherness.
		Their energy and enterprise fills lower Manhattan with a sense of purpose it hasn't really had since the Jews of the Lower East Side pushed the borough's population, temporarily in the early 20th century, to over 2 million.
		The bad news for hipsters looking to found such alternative enclaves like Chinatown or the Hasidim in Williamsburg may be that the secret to the sustainability of these neighborhoods may lie in their core of conservative, family-oriented values.
