“纽约的中国城(China town,有人也叫华埠或唐人街)是曼哈顿地区的一个著名街区和旅游景点。这里离世界贸易中心和华尔街不远,又毗邻小意大利和苏荷艺术区。数百家各种风味的中餐馆、食品店、有鲜明中国特色的礼品店、珠宝店星罗棋布,让人留连忘返。来纽约的游客在去过自由女神像和世贸中心后,多半会到此一游,因此,平时这里天天人来人往,摩肩接踵,生意十分兴隆。 9月11日,世贸中心突遭袭击,近距的中国城虽然没有发生房屋损坏和人员伤亡,但“城门失火,殃及池鱼”。事件发生后,纽约曼哈顿十四街以南封锁严密,毗邻灾区的中国城也实行严格交通管制。整个中国城的经济支柱——餐饮业和制衣业受到严重影响,华人生计顿陷困境。中国城的餐饮业主要依靠游客和在附近金融区和政府部门上班的职员来支持。两年前,美国经济繁荣、股市大涨,金融区的白领们个个火急火燎地挣钱,花钱也不算计,中国城上密密麻麻的餐馆,甚至报摊都跟着受益。随着中国城成为交通管制区,街上几乎看不到行人,后来坚尼路等主要街道逐步开放,才算有了点人气,但在美国对阿富汗塔利班政权开战以后,附近的联邦政府办公大楼又成了严密保卫
