  • Morning

    Take the No. 6 train to Spring Street, walk past Lafayette, and turn down Mulberry Street (see Mulberry Street) for a stroll through Little Italy. Don’t miss the old- fashioned food shops on Grand Street, such as cheese specialist Alleva Dairy (188 Mulberry Street at Grand) and Piemonte Co. (190 Grand Street), where two dozen shapes and varieties of pasta can be bought. At 206 Grand is DiPalo Dairy, where you can watch fresh mozzarella being made. Take a break at a classic Italian café, like Caffè Roma, 385 Broome Street, or Ferrara’s, 195- 201 Grand Street.

    Continue on Mulberry to Bayard, and you’ll find an introduction to what’s ahead, the Museum of Chinese in the Americas . Walk east one block to Mott Street, the center of Chinatown. Enjoy a dim sum lunch at Jing Fong or the Golden Unicorn .

    Afternoon

    Remaining on Mott Street, spend some time browsing the many shops, exotic food stores, markets, and galleries that line the street. Step into Saint’s Alp Teahouse, 51 Mott Street, to sample a current fad imported from Taiwan: tall glasses of flavored teas served with “pearls” of tapioca in the bottom.

    End the afternoon with a visit to the golden Buddhas of the Eastern States Buddhist Temple and have your fortune read.
