Chicago Chinatown – YCTV

admin — Tue, 06 Apr 2010 21:40:15 +0000

http://www.yctv.tv/chicago/ – Chicago’s Chinatown is located in a small area on the south side of the Loop. Chinatown is a unique neighborhood in that it is more than simply a collection of restaurants, shops and homes. It is a microcosm of Chinese culture here in America. Restaurants in Chinatown serve almost every type of Southeast and Far East Asian cuisine. The first immigrants to Chinatown opened restaurants, and some of these are still around; in this neighborhood, food is taken very seriously and there is something for everyone. For general Chinese food, try Three Happiness, Phoenix or Dragon Court Restaurant. Several restaurants boast cuisine of a specific country; Penang serves Malaysian fare, Hing Kee Restaurant and The Noodle both serve Vietnamese and The Moon Palace Restaurant serves Mandarin meals.

It features the works: sandwiches with fresh bread, wood-fired pizzas, “artopita” (flaky dough filled with things such as spinach, feta and ham) and entrees.
