To get to Chinatown, you'll have to walkthrough the Combat Zone (T: Orange Line toChinatown). The Combat Zone is one place you don'twant to visit--unless you revel in dirty movies,drug dealing and triple-X rated peepshows.
A good time to visit Chinatown is on a bright,i.e. safe, weekend afternoon when you can enjoydim sum in one of the neighborhood's numerousChinese restaurants.
It's hit or miss at these places.
Your best bet is to keep to the seafooddishes--squid and black bean sauce, for instance.The cakes at Chinese bakeries are alwaysdelicious, as well.
