The neighborhood

Sunset Park

Sunset Park's Chinatown rivals Manhattan's in size and authenticity — Eighth Avenue is packed with dim sum halls, herbal medicine shops, and fish markets. The neighborhood also has a strong Mexican community along Fifth Avenue, and Industry City has added a creative-economy hub to the waterfront.
