Bustling with energy, Boston’s Chinatown is the cultural heart of the city’s Chinese community. Renowned for late-night revelry, Chinatown is home to Asian eateries aplenty, along with a myriad of food markets, gift shops, and, of course, plenty of places to soak up some of that after-hours vibe, along with a few drinks. During daylight hours, stroll the noisy streets, or visit the contemporary, stylized Chinatown Park (part of the Rose Kennedy Greenway), with its oversized checkerboard, chess tables, and ornate Chinese-style gateway monument.
