About this listen

Christmas Day in New York City transforms Chinatown into a bustling hub, with Mott and Canal Streets buzzing with activity. Despite other areas being closed, this tradition dates back to the 19th century when Jewish and Chinese immigrants bonded over open eateries on holidays like Christmas. Owners like Stephen Li embrace the rush, with Great New York Noodletown being the busiest spot. Regulars from the Upper East Side make it their go-to tradition, and even first responders join in, grabbing chicken over rice after their shifts. For many, nothing says Christmas like a steamy bowl in bustling Chinatown. Checkout Solipillow.com
