Welcome to the oldest Chinatown in America. Established in the 1840s, this storied San Francisco neighborhood has been home to everything from grandiose banquet halls and parades to underground vice activity. As one of the top tourist destinations in the city, the drop in business during the ongoing pandemic has been devastating, with the loss of tourism compounded by anti-Asian racism and hate crimes. While the economy has reopened more in recent months, it’s been a slow recovery for the small businesses in Chinatown that somehow managed to survive, here in SF and across the country.
