Forgotten History of Chinese in New York

Janes Walk

Led By Taylor Zhou

The tour moves through the historic core of the neighborhood highlighting people and places that so captured the public imagination.

[The City recently earmarked $45 million for renovations that include Kimlau Square (1962), the first and only landmark, according to the chair of the NYC Landmarks Preservation Commission, that recognizes the contributions of Chinese Americans.]

The walk is aimed at fostering a more holistic appreciation of the community, and its sizable impact and contribution to the city, and America that is so little known.

Accessibility

The walk is less than 1/4 mile, but the narrow streets of the neighborhood may not be easily navigated on wheelchair.

Location Information

RSVP is required and capacity is limited. Meeting location, ending location, and directions will be provided via email before walk date.
