The Movement to Save New York's Chinatown | Hungry For More
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 20 сен 2022
- From roasted duck noodle soup to steamed rice rolls and weekend dim sum, Chinatown is home to unbeatable comfort food by small mom-and-pops built by generations of hard-working immigrant families.
But between the pandemic, a sharp rise in AAPI hate crimes, and plans for a new high rise mega jail pushing small businesses out of their neighborhood - New York’s Chinatown has been a battleground of gentrification, racism, and classism. In this episode of Hungry For More, we highlight the people and organizations fighting to preserve the mom-and-pop shops that have made New York's Chinatown so special.

When they speak English maybe we will, check the views and likes, they don't lie! AMERICA 🇺🇸
Right after World War I, my grandfather, a veteran who served in the army as a dentist, set up his practice in what was then Little Italy, now part of Greenwich Village. When the Great Depression came, he had patients who couldn't afford to pay him in full, because they were artists and immigrants. So he took paintings as payment -- I still have one of them. He used to walk to Chinatown several times a week, to a favorite restaurant, to eat lunch. The staff there knew him because he was there so often. One of those places with the ducks hanging in the window. I remember going there with him as a child and having him introduce me. We're not of Asian descent, but it didn't seem to matter. My grandfather was the child of Jewish immigrants, born on the Lower East Side, in a tenement. I think he kept his office in the area because he knew what the struggles of immigrants were. He felt at home among immigrants. Absolutely, NYC isn't NYC without Chinatown. I don't live in NYC anymore, but I still think of it as my home. The idea of the city taking advantage of a neighborhood trying to recover from the pandemic, instead of helping it get back on its feet -- it's just disgusting. Wishing everyone there success in keeping the jail out, and hoping for a Chinatown that thrives again. 🙏🏼
As a native New Yorker from Queens who’s been following them and their work throughout the pandemic, I am so grateful that they are taking care of our Asian elders through the best way we know how- food ❤
I had NO idea about the jail. Thanks so much for featuring this and everyone's stories. I love how food has so much meaning across multiple facets
What about the jail, don’t know why people are so worked out about it.
Big facts I work down a few blocks
About to look into this
@@organizedchaos4559 If you watched the video, it was explained that many businesses are forced to shut down to build the mega jail.
This felt like a VICE documentary. So good. I've never been to new york but Chinatown is a cultural legend and should be preserved, especially for the people who live there.
As a former NY resident, China Town must protected at ALL cost!! It's a Beautiful place, full of amazingly beautiful, hardworking people!!! The NY powers that be, KNOW their wrong for this!!!!
Man I relate to Ling and Jefferson a lot. I grew up working at my parents’ restaurant as a 7 year old kid. It’s a tough way to make a living. Luckily my parents retired a while back. I wouldn’t know what to do if they were still working during the shutdowns and peak COVID. So much respect for Send Chinatown Love spreading awareness to these small businesses and fundraising.
I keep smiling throughout the whole video. It's helping each other like this, lifting each other up that we can be a better human. Much gratitude to everyone helping strangers, may you be bless.
It's not the same. They are rebelling against the government for not wanting to leave because the city needs another jail.
So amazing to hear from local business owners directly. Super heartfelt and informative!!
First we feat I LOVE this stuff you keep posting. It's informative, down to earth, and gives me a reality check of where everyone is at in the current moment. Food has a weird way of uniting us.
I've donated to them a few times because I lived in Chinatown for a couple years in college and nowhere else in the city ever felt so much like home to me. Since I moved away, I try to send money back to the community when I can. Shout out to the dumpling shop on Mosco st (the alley near Hop Kee between Mott and Mulberry).
I’m only on Long Island and had NO IDEA about this jail!!! Thank you for bringing awareness for the community!!
Chinatown is keen on preserving a multitude of cultures and traditions that have been passed down from one generation to the next. I find it fascinating that we’re all getting a much more in-depth tour of Chinatown and how it has made its big impact on so many people of different races, cultures, nationalities, so on and so forth.
I love videos like this so much. Thank you to everyone involved.
This was amazing. I want to try every restaurant next time Im in NY. Thank you
I am really happy to see this movement. Our parents' generation were too afraid to speak up. Growing up in NYC, I saw so many injustice against the Chinese Americans. People, Go Vote!
what an incredible group of people
Stay strong, Chinatown! We need you. ❤
Taiwanese pork chop house, august gathering, house of joy, big wong, the list goes on!! I love Chinatown, really can't imagine a New York City without it!!!
This was so beautiful and so melancholy at the same time. Amazing people.
Excellent on so many levels. Love Chinatown ❤
What an uplifting episode, kudos to the fundraisers and their outreach programs making a difference!
This is such a great series. Keep it up!
It doesn’t belong on hot ones though. This channel should only be interviews
Very well produced video. Thanks for spreading info about what's happening!
God Bless You for all you do for everyone, Awesome!!!
I still miss that one dim sum place that closed down… I remember going there all the time with my mom when she modeled in Soho 💞
Loving this new series!!! Fantastic work spreading awareness of issues small owned businesses face!!!!
Yeah, they got rid of my favorite dim sum joint in Confucius Square over the pandemic. Not many places still do it cart style anymore
It was called Hop Shing 😢 It was around ever since the late 70s when my dad came to the US. They had the best Cantonese baked buns! It’s so sad they closed…
Thank you - from lifelong Chinatown New York resident!
Yes, it’s very much worth “Fighting For” and you are winning… “Honor and Respect”… I love visiting China Town any where, and I can’t resist the absolutely delicious Chinese Cuisine… Regards🇶🇦
Wow! Thank you for sharing those moments.
Lots of love and respect and greetings from Amsterdam The Netherlands 🇳🇱
Wonderful! And I'm so happy to see people supporting our elders.
Haven't eaten roasted duck noodle soup in a while. Seeing such a dish in the video makes me wanted one again! But due to how expensive everything is at the moment, I may have to go with just whatever I can pay at the limit I placed because I am conservative about using money.
Great piece. Chinatown is fantastic, the people are brilliant and the food is out of this world.
Awesome to see the daughter understanding her native tongue!
Great video, inspiring. We need to do something to help out Chinatown as well.
Hopefully everything goes well and Chinatown stays alive!
I really hope Chinatown survives - it's one of the only parts of Manhattan that working class people can afford to live and where there are still vibrant ties to the city's past
Heartfelt gestures make the world a better place. I want to visit Chinatown when I can in the future.
I love this. You have my support! I'll be buying stuff :)
Oh Wow, here in Melbourne, Australia our China Town kinda got really full and burst into downtown. Have someone do a story here on how we embrace all cultures through food. A good sauce (couldn't help myself) is Cam Smith on 3 Tripple R FM who has done some amazing interviews.
Props to you and that oxtail 🇯🇲🇯🇲
Loving this!
What a beautiful video and community
Love this!
My wife is Taiwanese, so I have a deep love of Chinatown, and (other than the Bourdain rip-off title) this is a great effort!
May Wah Fast Food has and will ALWAYS be my favorite Chinatown fast food place!
Certified Gold!!!!!
great job guys and gals
Looks so good
Congrats on the NY Emmy!
Very Nice Bro! Get Good People!
Popular Opinion: Every single one of y'all agrees China TOWN made our Day much BETTE
It makes me cry 😢
Very moving ❤
Can you post the list of businesses you find at for this video?
Please add the district and assembly member emails so residents can send emails to their local representatives that will have an effect on the decisions made. After that you could also include legislative information and a local representative office phone number. Good luck and I hope something gets changed.
The primary reason for NY Chinatown's decline has been foolish shutdowns and mandates by the city's leadership. In fact, the food industry in general has suffered in New York, with businesses across the entire city closing up.
Simply beautiful 💌
*_I'm all about the Kung Pao chicken. If it doesn't have chilies. I will order for them or order MORE! Spice is LIFE!_*
Nom Wah is my favorite place in Chinatown!
Much respect ~ Bravo Zulu
Many chinese stores and restaurants have moved to brooklyn. Sunset park and 86th street.
New Yorker my whole life - I go to Flushing Queens more for Asian food - Have been refused from some Chinatown places but still a fun place to visit and see
Why were you refused?. I always found the places very welcoming.
I love Chinatown so much
It's incredibly repugnant what the Asian community has had to deal with. I can't even imagine what it feels like to be targeted culturally. Our cultural roots are incredibly important and noone should be made to feel "less than". You're human, and that's all that matters.
I love so many aspects of many Asian cultures. We learn to empathise with others by experiencing their culture and it's really important to push our personal boundaries to do so. I'd be devastated if Chinatown here disappeared, thankfully our Chinatown is designated a historic area so no chance of that happening.
I spent 13 years in the kitchens of many restaurants, as well as a short stint in front of house. I learned more from working in Asian restaurants than I did in any other restaurant. It's also where I realised how much my personal beliefs mesh with Asian culture. Like food is always better when shared. It gives us an opportunity to set aside the negative and focus on what really matters. People, their perspectives and experiences.
Keep doing what you all are doing. You aren't "less than" regardless of how some New Yorkers might make you feel.
Much love from Victoria BC Canada. 💕
As an Asian person myself, I have no idea what it's like to be "targeted" on any meaningful level either. But hey, thanks for being so patronizing.
Thank you, Western savior.
That butcher dude is a riot.
I had the best duck in New York’s Chinatown. I can’t wait to go back.
Since I really love Chinese food Chinatown looks like somewhere I would want to go to more often than not
We are going through a huge financial system and governmental changes right now...so I'm hoping in the near-ish future people will not have to suffer so much.
What's happening with Chinatown? I've been to New York but I don't think I've ever been there specifically. I've been there in 2007 and I was in the Brooklyn area but I don't think I ever touched anywhere near times Square or Chinatown
Are you not least worried about the over reaction that threatened the livelihood of this establishment???? These ppl are what America is about.
I’ve never been to china town looks nice
Please do a Hot Ones feat. Michelle Yeoh ❤
I love these types of videos but that guy who said half of Chinatown wasn't able to get assistance. I wanna know what and why and where to get that info if he's correct.
Hey, I’m the guy that said that. Half of chinatown shares a zip code with SOHO, which, as you probably know from media, is a very wealthy area. Many grants and loans were based off zip code.
It’s practically the same as saying “you live in NYC? You must be rich asf.”
Love the Vietnamese chefs
4 Dumplings for a dollar was amazing. it's prolly 2 for a buck now.
Anyone know what the dish she ate for breakfast at 2:30 is called?
Rice roll or Cheung fun
It seemed like this story was pitched that Chinatown is under threat of no longer existing. But it turned into a story of Chinatown thriving during the pandemic, in so far as generously taking care of their people.
Kung pao chicken 🤤🤤🤤 give me some of that right about now
So y’all the ones that won the food truck contest
Don't forget about congestion pricing! Once congestion pricing comes into effect, many businesses in Chinatown will shut down. The cost of deliveries and food will go up, and the number of customers will go down. It's a loss on both ends.
Which Chinatown?
If these places don't have banks, are they paying taxes and following other laws?
i wanna send helen some chinatown love
❤
Little Italy is receding while Chinatown is growing. Little Italy is the one that needs saving. Both are being killed off by rising rents. They both deserve to survive I couldn't imagine New York without both
Outreach activities and groups like send Chinatown love at least give me hope that something good exist in the world. There is a little bit of hope For humanity
Really not a fan of this food..
However I would fight for your right to stay where you are.. Kudos.
Chinese people are so resilient
Immigrants make America great, they deserve so much more support
Salam dan sukses teeus buat sahabat gathan aamiin'.'.'
I think China town should have a collective Instagram account. Either ran by one person or as many is needed. You can even give access to the account to respective owners and let them share their daily or weekly experiences. It's a step in the right direction I think.
I angers me to think that city governments feed on certain communities such as the Asian communities. Because of the past history these communities had in their mother lands, my are fearful of the government. Some of these governments have members that are minorities that are feeding on other communities. The same thing is occurring in the Seattle Asian community. The government is building a homeless shelter that will house from 200 to 400 persons which requires a very large structure. So they thing that the Asian community will “roll over” and not fight back. You are wrong, and there are other communities joining in because if it can happen to one community it can happen to any community.
In America the government is supposed to fear the people, not the people fearing the government. That's why the USA'S Constitution is so important to being free as the people, as legally as possible... Fight for your freedom and defend the USA's Constitution that gives you that right to be free.
Okay cecewwcwccddcddddddcd😂
Ah we have more nimbys in the chat
Chinatown has been apart of NY as much as NY has been part of Chinatown.
Imo flushing has more character, Chinatown feels tacky
I just want to say something and don't @ me. I'm just stating facts.
You see how the children and even grandchildren of immigrants care for their elders and the elders in their communities..? These elders break their backs working here but, they don't have access to fancy lines of credit, investment options, there is no shot at building generational wealth for them-- they literally work their entire lives just to give their children a shot at the dream.
Some people in America hate seeing this. They literally hate it. Because their community ain't like this. Neighbors don't know each other. Nobody cares about the hood.
If you find a place the locals go to. You know your gonna get authentic not gentrified food. Take a punt and try it out.
And it had been on In 2 mins THANKS Lil me later
