If you’re visiting Chinatown this Lunar New Year, you’ve got to stop by this restaurant with Malaysian roots.

Imperial Ballroom Dance Studio has been bringing the Chinatown community together since 1995 through the love of dance.

Lights on Chinatown are made locally by Matt and Alice born out of the idea of exploring scents and iterating on an Asian American candle concept. In recognition of the pandemic’s impact on their daily lives and to the Chinatown community, Matt and Alice joined forces to create candles that would directly benefit the Chinatown community.

Welcome to Chinatown spoke with Debbie Park, whose parents opened Korean restaurant Grand Seoul on Chrystie Street in September 2018 after over 10 years in the deli business.  Grand Seoul serves Korean fare that’s like “a taste of a Korean mom’s kitchen in the heart of Chinatown.” Through Welcome to Chinatown’s “Help Chinatown Help Our Heroes” fundraiser, Grand Seoul has delivered over 300 meals to frontline workers through Welcome to Chinatown.
