Columbus Park
Columbus Park, formerly known as Mulberry Bend Park, Five Points Park and Paradise Park, is a public park in Chinatown, Manhattan, in New York City that was built in 1897. During the 19th century, this was the most dangerous ghetto area of immigrant New York, as portrayed in the book and film Gangs of New York.
Chinatown
Vibrant Chinatown is a densely populated neighborhood that draws foodies and tourists to its many Chinese and Southeast Asian restaurants for dumplings, pork buns and hand-pulled noodles. The busy sidewalks are packed with souvenir stores, bubble tea shops, and markets selling everything from fresh and dried fish to herbs and spices. Locals hang out in leafy Columbus Park for Tai Chi, chess and mahjong.

We’ve done food tours in other cities and most just give a nibble at each location. This tour served full-sized portions at every stop and left us stuffed. We went at lunch and were so full that we skipped dinner. The choices were yummy, lots of items we’ve never tried before and locations we never would have stopped at if we were just walking by. Grace was a great tour guide from start to finish.
