Sunset Park

In the varied ethnic neighborhood of Sunset Park in Brooklyn, there is an authentic Chinese area. The primary purpose of this area is for its residents, whereas the Chinatown of lower Manhattan has a great deal of tourist shops and eating establishments. This Chinatown has many restaurants that serve more authentic fare, some of which is not likely to be of appeal to the American's palate.
