Chinatown
With a history of over 130 years, Boston's Chinatown is one of the oldest residential Chinatowns in the nation. The demise of the Chinatowns in Providence and Portland left Boston's Chinatown as the last ethnic Chinese enclave in New England, and it had an abundance of Chinese and Vietnamese restaurants. Explore the lively streets and grab some tasty dumplings.
