#project365 [day 70] This is Chinatown, NYC

NewYork_20150323_145

The chinese flag is flying high above a building in New York's Chinatown. On a country dominated by it's own flag, for an european this is always strange, seeing this flag on top of a building really jumped out at me. But then, this is Chinatown, the home of the largest enclave of Chinese people in the Western Hemisphere. Located in Lower Manhattan, next to the Lower East Side and south of Little Italy with an estimated population of 100,00 people. The architecture is typical 19th century New York, like its surrounding neighborhoods, but at street level it does feel like you are in the far east, with shops occupying every available space, sometimes stalls set up in front of another shop window, and selling all sorts of foreign produce.
