Chinatown/Five Points

Sundays @ 2:00pm - $15
ChinatownNew York's legendary slum, a story of Irish, Italians, Africans, Germans, Jews and Chinese, their struggles, their cultures; gangs of New York to the tongs of Chinatown -- with underground passageways still in use on winding Blood Alley where countless gang members were murdered in half a century of turf warfare...


...to the single oldest relic of western civilization on the island of Manhattan. It's 19th century New York: bigotry and rivalry, ribaldry and racism, oppression, defiance, perseverance, progress and reform.
