Museum of Chinese in America | Best of NYC

Why is Chinatown one of the most unique neighborhoods in New York City? The answer can be found in the Museum of Chinese in America​ where the entire history of Chinese-Americans is chronicled; from the California Gold Rush to the Chinatowns found in many America cities.

Textbooks and media rarely cover this minority group that has deeply influenced American culture. If you want to get a more complete sense of NYC history (and American history overall), watch this video and give the museum a visit when you get the chance.
