Chinatown, Now and Then

My new Lydia Chin/Bill Smith book, FAMILY BUSINESS, is set in Chinatown and concerns real estate. (Well, this IS New York.) To celebrate we’re showing some (mostly vintage) Chinatown photos here on the blog. This is Pell Street in 1949.

The photographer is Angelo Rizzuto. Related to Phil? Who knows? This is New York.

  4. Around 1980, many in my family had the opportunity to travel to Europe. I didn’t, so I decided to explore New Yorks Chinatown as my exotic adventure. Chinese culture and history became a bit of a hobby. And years later, the setting was what initially drew me to your novels.
