Chinatown - Signs

Chinatown, lower Manhattan, store signs
there are some words in English - tea, special, fish ball, steamed pork bun
Chinatown, lower Manhattan, produce for sale
colorful produce
Chinatown, lower Manhattan, Verizon sign
the Verizon guy in Chinatown
Chinatown, lower Manhattan, foot rub sign
this sign is very clear
Chinatown, lower Manhattan, billboards
Buddhist temple topped with resort "pleasure" billboard
Chinatown, lower Manhattan, back rub storefront
back rub storefront
Chinatown, lower Manhattan, Chinese pharmacy
Chinese pharmacy
   Just look around - any questions as to where you are? The signage all around you spells Chinatown, loudly and clearly. I especially like the Verizon guy. Take a close look at the photograph sandwiched between the two foot rub photos: at ground level is a Buddhist temple, topped by a large billboard proclaiming "worlds of pleasure" at Atlantic City resorts.
