Chinatown
Lonely Planet review for Chinatown
Chinatown’s charm is best enjoyed by going from bakery to bakery, nibbling chestnut cakes and almond cookies, then shopping for Hello Kitty trinkets and tea in the small shops. Old Chinatown stretches along Wentworth Ave south of Cermak, and is the neighborhood’s traditional retail heart (and a good place to purchase a turtle). Chinatown Square, along Archer Ave north of Cermak, is the newer commerce district; it’s filled with restaurants and is at its wonderful noisiest on weekends.
