Love, Chinatown

GOOGLE

Asian Owned

As Historic Chinatowns worldwide are squeezed by shifting demographics and urban development, Boston's has cultivated a resilient spirit of self-advocacy embodied by protagonists Cynthia Yee and Gwen Liu. From bakeries and dim sum shops to mahjong clubs and banquet halls, Cynthia and Gwen present the neighborhood's journey as a testament to community, adaptability, and telling one's own story.
