Do you remember your first time stepping into Chinatown? It's an otherworldly experience being surrounded by throngs of people and cornered in by restaurants and shops that beckon with mysterious foods and wares. Due to the global pandemic, these amazing neighborhoods are slowly dwindling. 

This week, we're joined by Jackie Wang and Harry Trinh, two volunteers with the organization, "Welcome to Chinatown." We talk with them about what their organization is doing to help NYC Chinatown businesses during this troubled time - from organizing grants to help them pay rent to getting them get set up on online delivery systems, and more. We also share our best tips for exploring Chinatown now - from the best places to eat to the shops with the most interesting items. 

Learn more about how you can help (donating, buying merch, volunteering) at welcometochinatown.com and follow them on Instagram at @welcome.to.chinatown
