of the original Chinatown since so much development has taken place in that area. It will certainly disappoint anyone familiar with San Francisco's Chinatown. More

DC's Chinatown was never much to begin with; the exotic arch is backed by only a few blocks of ethnic Chinese activity. Each year that area shrinks. Now limited to note more than 4-5 blocks, Chinatown includes a massive sports arena and conventional mall; a few up-market restaurants (including several non-Chinese, such as the very fine Irish pub Fado's); a...
