Hi!!!!!! This was filmed before I moved, I filmed all the chinatowns before I left.

I am gonna visit Vancouver real soon so start sending me your recommended places via Facebook or Instagram messenger :-)

Good to know those off-manhattan places. Heard about flushing china town before, and now I can see why.

There are legit 9 chinatowns in nyc. Manhattan Chinatown: The postcard chinatown, the oldest. Mainly Cantonese and Fujianese. Nowadays it serve as a gathering place for out of state chinese, because thats where all the buses stop at. Probably more chinese doing business than living here now. Lots of shops and mainly cantonese food. Alot of chinese who works outside of nyc will go here during their day off and buy whatever they need. As far as I can tell, the manhattan chinatown is getting smaller. Few years ago this was the only option for hosting wedding for chinese people, but recent years more chinese are choosing to have their wedding host at brooklyn and flushing. Flushing ChinaTown: The most modern and vibrant, and youngest among the three. Main street was a perfect place for ethnic enclave and flushing really use it to its full potential. Mainly northern Chinese, Korean, and used to have some large population of taiwanese there as well. Alot of young chinese immigrants due to the fact that it has a large number of condos available which favors international students from china and korea. Flushing Chinatown really shift away from the traditional chinatown's vibe. It is actually more closer to what china's shopping area would look like nowadays. Despite that, most of the chinese here dont really live in flushing due to the fact that flushing doesn't really have alot of houses available. Its mainly condos and commercial buildings. 8th Avenue Chinatown: This is a complicated one. If you look at the subway map of N train, every station after 8th avenue consists a small chinatown of its own all the way to kings highway. Mainly Fujianese, used to be all cantonese 10years ago. Now its about 80% fujianese to 20% cantonese. Recent years alot of international students starting to live here due to the cost of rent is the lowest among three. This is also the most crowded chinatown because of the way brooklyn apartments were built back in the early 20th century. Each 2 family house in brooklyn chinatown could potential hold more than 6 families inside (illegally). A tiny 1 family house in 8th avenue can cost as much as 2 million dollars. satellite chinatowns: sort by population(sort of): Bensonhurst(brooklyn): This is where most of the cantonese from 8th avenue moved to. Place is growing rapidly and is mostly unknown for anyone living outside of brooklyn despite having some of the best cantonese restaurants. Elmhurst(queens): its like the younger sister of flushing minus the korean population, most of the taiwanese used to live here.) Corona(queens): back in around 2008s, alot of chinese who couldn't afford houses in other big chinatowns starting to move here. Now the housing price is as high as the others. 18th Avenue(brooklyn): originally the first satellite chinatown to 8th avenue. Mostly cantonese and also alot of international students. Its the older brother of Bensonhurst but is now forgotten. Avenue U(brooklyn): another chinatown based near the N train line. Again, mostly cantonese. Whitestone/North College Point(queens): Did I say the housing price of corona is really high now? Yup, so this is where chinese are buying for the past few years. Not many chinese business here yet. Others: From exit 8 to 12 of staten island expressway(staten island): If you want to buy house near any of these chinatown above, you're looking at more than 800thousands. And it goes up by the population of that chinese community. Staten Island is the only uncharted place where there are lots of affordable houses and many younger generation chinese are willing to move there now. West Bayridge(Brooklyn): There are about 10 chinese shops here at the moment. Has a good amount of chinese population here but can't call it a chinatown yet. East Jackson Height(queens): This is an awkward chinese community. Barely any chinese business here, but there are large population of chinese here somehow. it is next to a huge hispanic population which chinese community get along with pretty well. But unlike other community (like how italian community from bayridge are completely driven off) that will usually move out after more chinese moving in, hispanic community dont seem to mind. Overall, the development of nyc chinatown goes like this. Near subway station? Plus. Cheap housing? Plus. Very politically incorrect, but No black population? Plus. If a place meets all these requirement, it is very likely to have a chinatown form there very quickly. Until the housing price goes up then they move on to the next one. Also Southwest Brooklyn may someday form a mega chinese community due to the fact that there are atlease 9 small chinese communities scattered around the R and N train lines. If you ever take train on those two, you'll notice its almost all chinese in the cart beyond 59th street station of coney island bound.

Finally a team adventure. Its so cute to see them having so much fun together.

It's so good to Dan & Mikey together again!! I hope things change so they can at least be on the same coast again.

+Strictly Dumpling, this brings back a lot of memories. I lived in Taiwan from Summer '59 to Summer '61 when my father (U.S. Army) was assigned there with MAAG Taiwan. I was in the 5th and 6th grades. We stayed a few weeks at the Grand Hotel then moved to Tian Mu. The people were wonderful and the food was fantastic! Thank you for taking me back in time......I will never forget it.

I like to see you guys back together

I've walked by all of these places so many times. I can't wait to go and try them 😊 awesome video

at first I didnt thought I'll miss dan this much until I no longer see him for a while

I'm a huge fan of your various videos, and this one has been my favorite! I'll be rewatching this one next time I'm in NY!

Thanks for this fantastic tour!!!!!!! You always "take me" to the greatest places, and have so many great tidbits and info. Plus, any trip with Dave is the best trip ever! heheheh

Our family lived in Flushing from 1964-1968. I went to school from K-4. Parsons, Bowne, Northern, Main, Roosevelt, Union, etc. were our stomping grounds. Lots of changes over the years... er, decades. I'd love to get back there. I moved out of the area in 1977, and came back for a visit in 1997. I tried to drive through the neighborhood, but the traffic was ridiculous. Loved watching this video.

I MISS DAN. YES I'M SHOUTING

ok that tea place where you guys got the rose milk tea and the watermelon mint looks amazing!!! im getting that the next time im going there.

You are the best tour guide Mikey!🍜 Thank you for sharing all your experiences!🌷

I lived in Flushing 25 years before I moved to Connecticut 13 years. Ago , completely different now , thanks for sharing guys good memories

Hey Mike, I grew up and still live in Astoria, Queens. Love the borough and feel like I haven't even touched enough good spots in Flushing. Using your video as reference for the future, have eaten at some really solid spots in Elmhurst (Near the hospital) though. Thanks so much!

when dan smiles he has a evil look, look at his eyebrows SOOO evil haha

This is one of the best you guys review.

Thanx for all your hard work presenting this video !!

LOL.... I so envy you guys.... Just eating good food..everyday.... my life really sucks

He finally made his corrections that Manhattan's Chinatown is both Cantonese and Fuzhou. However, he is still giving the wrong information about Brooklyn's Chinatown. Brooklyn's Chinatown was once a small Cantonese enclave, but is now overwhelmingly a very large Fuzhou enclave. The Cantonese have migrated to Bensonhurst and Sheepshead Bay in Brooklyn, which has resulted in newer little Cantonese Chinatowns being established in various sections of Bensonhurst and a section of Sheepshead Bay.

Love your guys' honesty!!!!

This was such a fun video! Thank you for sharing it.

you two are such lovely dorks.

can someone clarify why we shouldn't go into massage places?

Awesome video... Thanks for the tour, learned allot.

I've lived here past 42 years and still love it very much. You should do a show of all the great Korean restaurants on Murray street.

I want the bottle and the glass egg from the tea place

Hey Mike, me and friends are heading to Flushing today to try several of your recommendations! Thanks for so many wonderful videos, love your channel.

Love the content of these videos, what to get, where to go, and perhaps as important, where NOT to go. Great stuff.

I'm born and raised in NYC. I think I've only been in Bronx or flushing 3 times in 17 years. I never even knew that flushing has their own Chinatown, wow.

I'm going to miss the best bromance on KZfaq.

Glad you guys get together again:))) keep up the good work!

4:40-4:48 come on man you's couldnt help that dude carry that thing up the stairs :(

Not being Chinese or Asian I'm really hesitant to go into places like these, cuz I don't feel welcomed or just lost in translation. I really do want to try these but I don't think I ever will lol
