		The established Chinatown within New England is located in the downtown area of Boston, Massachusetts.
		The traditional Chinatown Gate (paifang), surrounded by lions, is located at the intersection of Beach Street and Surface Road.
		This is due to the rapid influx of Hokkien-speaking Mainland Chinese immigrants from the province of Fujian, as well as a large growing ethnic Vietnamese population.

	EVERYBODY FUNG WAH TONIGHT! FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT THE CHINATOWN BUS. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		A: There are lots of Chinatown bus companies serving destinations all over the East Coast, but Fung Wah Bus company seems to be the leader in the space, with an online reservations system and more than eight years of experience running buses and vans between Boston and New York.
		Chinatown may be densely packed with Chinese folks, but the outlying areas in both Boston and New York are filled with budget-conscious college students.
		The smaller Chinatown buses, which are used primarily during off-peak weekdays, don't even have night lights or vents or bathrooms or TVs, so it's probably a good idea to do your numbers one and two before you board the bus.

	Mapping Chinatown (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Boston Chinatown is a destination in their path.
		By drawing a map of Chinatown, whether in front of the China Pearl restaurant or on the corner of Beach and Harrison or in a classroom of the Asian American Civic Association, the passersby, interviewees, and after-school kids we spoke to all participated in an activity within Chinatown.
		Although the Boston city government recognizes Chinatown as a neighborhood, it is quite literally a marginalized neighborhood-existing on the margins of many boundaries.

		I thought I knew Chinatown well, but I had missed Peach Farm, one of the later openings in the mid-'90s wave of Hong Kong seafood restaurants.
		Peach Farm may not have the most elaborate sauces in Chinatown, but the premium on team speed more than makes up for the difference, and keeps this basement restaurant jammed with Asians and other knowledgeable customers.

		True, there are bigger "ducks" in the Charles River (the Duck Tours), but most visitors rank their tame paddling around the tiny pond as much of a trip highlight as Boston's quackier version of a boat ride.
		Once on the ride, you'll park your tail feathers on a bench seat with three others who will all be vying for a view of the shores you just stood on.
		The boat calmly hugs the edges of the figure-eight-shaped pond and returns you neatly to the boat dock, rested and ready for a hike across the Common.
