I think every city in this world has a Chinatown. May it be in Canada, Philippines, United Kingdom, even in the US! It's a global staple. A lot of the states here in the US of A have at least one Chinese store or restaurant. Of course, New York isn't an exception.
We went to Chinatown to buy cheap fridge goods (a.k.a. meat, fish, vegetables, etc.) and got a bit hungry a little while after strolling a great part of the place. A few steps away from us was an underground restaurant, dubbed by many people - even Hollywood celebrities - as a great place for authentic Chinese cuisine.
We went down the stairs just above the Hop Kee Restaurant sign. It was a small place which was right below a dimsum place. It didn't have that usual Chinese restaurant smell, but they do have really fast service!
