CANAL STREET


Is Avenue U the next Canal Street?

With Avenue U having been recently dubbed as the “next Chinatown”, Alvin and I decided to explore both neighborhoods to see for ourselves whether or not this was true. What we found wasn’t entirely too surprising. Canal St. is at the heart of Chinatown, a center of bustling businesses, curious tourists, and endless eateries. Avenue U is just at the initial stages of developing into any sort of ethnic enclave and it still certainly has a long way to go before it can be considered as another satellite Chinatown.
