Text: "Chinatown, New York City, Presents many strange sights and many a point of interest to the visitor who has a little leisure time to wander through the quaint streets and visit the stores filled with all sorts of fancy wares from the Orient. Here Chinese restaurants, drug stores, grocery stores and souvenir shops thrive side by side. While the appearance of the buildings and surroundings is somewhat arrayed in typically Chinese or Oriental style, the mode of living and appearance of the Chinese people show little change from their accustomed native ways."; "N.Y. 377" A: Old Accession #: GAIE
