SEE CHINATOWN


                        
              Inspired by the hugely successful food festival, Taste of Chinatown,
              which draws over 150,000 food lovers to the serpentine streets around
              Chinatown, SEE Chinatown – Shop, Eat, & Explore broadens a one-day
              event, hosted by Chinatown Partnership LDC, to an extended promotion
              of the downtown community.
                                      

             Maya Lin-designed Museum of Chinese in America opens.
