I Survived Chinatown, And All I Have to Show For It Is This Lousy Backscratcher!
by nycgrl | Jan 01 '03
Pros: Heaven for junkies, cheap stuff you can't find anywhere else, culture, delish food
Cons: Dirty, litter, crowded, you'll end up getting junk you don't want later, non-English-speaking areas

were in NYC for Christmas. We go there every Christmas, and about four or five other times a year. This is the first time that we really spent a lot of time in Manhattan. We went to Ground Zero, FAO Schwartz, Macy's, Sax Fifth, Rockafeller Center, and Central Park. I have always been very fond of NYC but this was a great visit. We usually would hang out in Long Island and Queens, but this review brings back recent memories...Great job!

Well, I do love my lousy backscratcher. I feel the same way about the fish market, and I'm not even squeamish! If anywhere to pass out, the Chinatown fish market would be it, which is why you should probably stay around the tourist-y area. It's too bad your visit didn't go well.

Never mind. I enjoyed your review but you didn't tell us about the fish mongers in the small stores with live fish flapping away and huge frogs hopping up and down in small barrels. I was in China Town very recently. Great review.
