This<\/strong> was Saturday afternoon in Manhattan\u2019s Chinatown. Saturday afternoon, people.<\/em><\/p>\n

I\u2019ve said it before. Businesses in Chinatown are struggling to make ends meet as potential customers\u2019 trepidation over COVID-19 festers and deters patronage. Chinatown has been an ineffable source of delight, indulgence, and comfort to so many of us. Now is the time for all of us to do the right thing and show our gratitude and support for these businesses. If ever you\u2019ve felt the desire to give back, this is your chance.<\/p>\n

Self-quarantining? I get it. So order in! #keepcalmandcarryout<\/p>\n

(BTW, I can\u2019t think of a better way to celebrate the conclusion of your confinement than a sumptuous dinner in our beloved Chinatown!)<\/p>\n

All I’m asking is this: please don’t treat Chinatown restaurants any differently from the way you would treat any restaurant anywhere else. That’s the very definition of racial profiling.<\/em><\/p>\n

Over the next few days, I\u2019ll post some photos of deliciousness from Chinatown\u2019s restaurants, markets and street vendors taken during the past week. Stay tuned.<\/p>\n

And thank you.<\/p>\n
