Chinatown Stew

Chinatown Stew. There is an old adage that America is a “melting pot.” In truth, it is more like an undercooked stew, where the various ingredients may share a common place, even touch shoulders, yet remain distinct. This “slice of life” Chinatown, New York City setting is a peek in the pot. Commerce brings together a cacophony of cultures here, forming a makeshift peace for the sake of commerce and self-interest. This is small town living, New York City style.
