A
requisite for visitors and locals too, a Chinatown outing is
a good time. Still the largest Chinese neighborhood outside Asia, the
City's Chinatown swirls with mystery and exotic detail. Tourists prefer
Grant Avenue, San Franciscans Stockton Street. The rest belongs to both
the poorest and the wealthiest Chinese and Chinese Americans in the
City. Check out newly renovated Portsmouth Square, known as Chinatown's
living room, then take the kids to the Fortune Cookie factory on Ross
Alley. Chop suey was invented at Johnny Kan's at Grant and Sacramento.
The San Franciscan knows the best place in town for cookware is the
Gin Wall hardware store on Grant at Jackson. |
