It is not only the main neighborhood in the area but it is rooted in Mexican heritage that is reflected in everything from the one-of-a-kind businesses and boutiques lining W 18th St to the variety of colorful street murals influenced by Mayan and Aztec culture.

Chinatown

Cermak Road and Wentworth Avenue stand at the heart of Chinatown's thriving business district. Here you will find an extensive roster of retail shops, cafes, dim sum restaurants, teahouses, as well as a number of services that cater to people interested in Chinese culture. Chinatown Square’s outdoor mall offers up similar storefronts. Spend a few hours at The Chinese-American Museum exploring exhibits about the history of the Chinatown neighborhood, and don’t forget to see The Nine-Dragon Wall which is one of the only three replicas of the Beijing monument outside of China.
