No passport required on this international adventure. A trip down to New York City's Chinatown will have you feeling like you've left North America altogether. Out of all streets in Manhattan's Chinatown, Pell Street is probably the most popular and photogenic. At night the streets light up with the glow of neon signs, while in the day people-watching is at its peak.
