Crazy Rich Asians: Actress Victoria Loke Reveals Her Top 20 Travel Tips for New York and Singapore 24/09/2018 Crazy Rich Asians: Actress Victoria Loke Reveals Her Top 20 Travel Tips For New York And Singapore 5,974 views | Aug 25, 2018, 09:10am Crazy Rich Asians: Actress Victoria Loke Reveals Her Top 20 Travel Tips For New York And Singapore Laura Manske Contributor i Travel Falling in love with travel every day. © REUBEN FOONG Crazy Rich Asians — the new flirty, feisty, modern romantic comedy that is delighting audiences and dazzling box offices — celebrates the glamour of lavish lifestyles and the power of true love. An Asian-American and NYU economics professor, Rachel Chu travels from New York City to Singapore with her boyfriend Nick Young (University of Oxford alumnus and NYU history professor) to attend the wedding of his childhood friend and to meet his family. Surprises ensue, secrets spill and intrigue swirls as she learns that her gorgeous guy's relatives comprise a mega-wealthy (real estate) family and he is Asia's most well- known, affluent bachelor desired by women galore — two details he hadn't (ahem) mentioned during their dating, while he used public transportation and lived in a modest apartment. Add to this rapt romp a superlative cast, fireworks, champagne, abundant food, fabulous fashion, stylish decor, shimmering cityscapes, well-placed laughter, magnificent music and — to churn the plot — https://www.forbes.com/sites/lauramanske/2018/08/25/crazy-rich-asians-actress-victoria-loke-reveals-her-top-20-travel-tips-for-new-york-and-singapore/#40f7… 1/12 24/09/2018 Crazy Rich Asians: Actress Victoria Loke Reveals Her Top 20 Travel Tips For New York And Singapore steely disapproval by Nick’s formidable mother of their relationship. Happily, Crazy Rich Asians also encourages interest in The Lion City itself. So I asked Singapore-born-and-raised actress, dancer, artist, model and activist Victoria Loke, who deftly plays the role of Fiona Tung-Cheng, Nick Young's cousin-in-law, to reveal her beloved Singaporean hotspots as well as New York City's cool bets, because Loke graduated from the Gallatin School at NYU, where she began her screen-acting career while living in the Big Apple for five years, stepping a stiletto-wearing foot in two worlds. Warner Bros. Pictures' Crazy Rich Asians, directed by Jon M. Chu, is the first major studio movie to showcase a predominantly Asian cast in more than 25 years (since The Joy Luck Club), breaking barriers and inspiring Hollywood. The screenplay, written by Peter Chiarelli and Adele Lim, is based on a best-selling novel of the same name by Kevin Kwan. Here, eat up Victoria Loke's delicious and artistic recommendations: Victoria Loke: Pretty in the city. © REUBEN FOONG CRAZY FUN IN NEW YORK 1 Explore the Lower East Side. "The moment I moved to the Lower East Side, I fell in love. I spent the majority of my free time within walking radius of my apartment. I would start my night with dinner at Zest (shout-out to John!) for excellent Japanese comfort food; Cafe Petisco when I was in the mood for Mediterranean cuisine and a solid glass of wine; or Bacaro, which is one of my spots for Italian food. All roads would ultimately lead to Vietnamese An Choi, whose sister restaurant Diandi just opened in Greenpoint, Brooklyn." 2 Meander The Met Cloisters at Fort Tryon Park in Upper Manhattan. https://www.forbes.com/sites/lauramanske/2018/08/25/crazy-rich-asians-actress-victoria-loke-reveals-her-top-20-travel-tips-for-new-york-and-singapore/#40f7… 2/12 24/09/2018 Crazy Rich Asians: Actress Victoria Loke Reveals Her Top 20 Travel Tips For New York And Singapore "Yes, going to the Metropolitan Museum of Art on Fifth Avenue is on every to- do list when touring the city, but going to The Met Cloisters is a truly elevated experience. I am a huge nerd about Medieval culture, and the vast majority of The Met's collection from the Middle Ages is housed in The Cloisters. Walk through the beautiful park that leads to the museum and enjoy the perfectly manicured pockets of garden space within the museum walls itself." MORE FROM FORBES 3 Take a day trip to the Storm King Art Center in Windsor, New York. "For those who drive, it takes about an hour to head along the Hudson River to the Storm King Art Center, where you can admire the grand sculptural works of amazing artists amidst lush greenery. Go in spring or fall, when the weather is cool. Ride your bicycles around the park." 4 Relish eye­candy at the Noguchi Museum. "At the Noguchi Museum in Queens, you'll find architectural models, sculptures and furniture designed by Isamu Noguchi. The museum is so serene and so tastefully designed, a visit here almost feels like a meditative experience. Don't forget to also check out Socrates Sculpture Park, which is a short walk away." 5 Gallery­hop along The High Line in Chelsea. "Last art-related recommendation, I promise! On a day-off, I love to spend the afternoon zig-zagging through galleries starting on 19th Street and then ending the day with a stroll down The High Line as the sun sets. There really isn't a proper agenda or schedule. Just pop into whichever gallery strikes your fancy." 6 Applaud a performance at Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts. "My college graduation ceremony was held in the Avery Fisher Hall (now renamed David Geffen Hall) at Lincoln Center on the West Side, so there is added sentimental value to this location for me. I highly recommend catching a show here while in the city. My favorite? The New York City Ballet. Although seeing The Metropolitan Opera is an experience unlike any other." 7 Relax in Nolita — North of Little Italy. "People-watching is a legitimate recreational activity here, I insist! On a summer afternoon, I love getting a table at Maman and Mimi to enjoy rosé and moules­ frites while I watch an endless stream of people pass by the restaurant's open doors. No one does day-drinking like the French!" https://www.forbes.com/sites/lauramanske/2018/08/25/crazy-rich-asians-actress-victoria-loke-reveals-her-top-20-travel-tips-for-new-york-and-singapore/#40f7… 3/12 24/09/2018 Crazy Rich Asians: Actress Victoria Loke Reveals Her Top 20 Travel Tips For New York And Singapore 8 Slip inside New York City's many speakeasies. "New York was the first place that I was introduced to the concept of a speakeasy. While speakeasies have become popular all over the world now, I think New York still does them best! My favorite is Apothèke, tucked away on the now brightly painted Doyers Street. In its darker and gloomier days, it was still a lovely discreet place to enjoy a mixologist's cocktail while listening to a jazz quartet playing right next to you." 9 Dine at Peter Luger Steak House in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. "The steak at Peter Luger Steak House is unforgettable. I took my mother there when she came to visit me, and she still talks about it to this day! I recommend going as a family, because the steaks are gigantic. Be prepared for a massive food coma after you're done. Worth it!" 10 Do dim sum in Chinatown. "Saved the best for last! Chinatown is my absolute favorite neighborhood in the city. It has so much history and life that I am constantly learning and seeing new things. It's not for the faint of heart (or faint of nose) that's for sure. But I would love for more people to be respectful and open-minded toward this neighborhood and to support the family businesses in the area. A good place to start would be a round of dim sum [Chinese cuisine prepared in bite-sized portions, served in steamer baskets or on small plates] at one of the stalwarts Golden Unicorn or Jing Fong. Dim Sum Go Go has a lot of vegetarian options. And try famous Nom Wah Tea Parlor." CRAZY FUN IN SINGAPORE 1 Savor Southeast Asian art at the National Gallery Singapore. https://www.forbes.com/sites/lauramanske/2018/08/25/crazy-rich-asians-actress-victoria-loke-reveals-her-top-20-travel-tips-for-new-york-and-singapore/#40f7… 4/12 24/09/2018 Crazy Rich Asians: Actress Victoria Loke Reveals Her Top 20 Travel Tips For New York And Singapore "My first recommendation to anyone who travels to Singapore is to check out our National Gallery, which opened in 2015. It’s home to the world's largest collection of Southeast Asian and Singaporean art, housed within a historic setting that has been revitalized with a modern architectural touch. Aside from the permanent collection, there is always a phenomenal special exhibition put together by the gallery's curators and that is worth multiple visits. The gallery also houses Odette, one of my favorite restaurants for fine dining, as well as Smoke & Mirrors, a great place for evening cocktails with a view." 2 Dive into local literature at BooksActually. "BooksActually is pretty much a household name to any bibliophile in the region and has been a mainstay of the local indie scene since it opened its doors in 2005. Friends of mine from New York sometimes ask me to pick up books from BooksActually, because they can't find them anywhere else! Get to know some local writers as you browse through the collection and explore stories from Singapore that you don't hear about in the movie, Crazy Rich Asians." 3 Swoon over the night skyline at Marina Bay Sands.

  • Chinatown: a Taste of China in New York City
    Chinatown: A Taste of China in New York City Historical Overview Chinatown in New York City was the second Chinatown created after the one made in San Francisco, California. Similar to the first one, Chinatown was originally a place for Chinese immigrants to come to after getting off their long journey on the ships. Originally the Chinese immigrants came to the West in hopes of getting a quick fortune from the Gold Rush or earning money from working on the Transcontinental Railroad. However, they soon realized that there was no potential to obtain wealth or to gain a job since the railroad was completed. They began to work for low wages at textile or cigarette making factories. However, since these immigrants were working at drastically lower prices, Americans were unable to get a job. This caused tension to grow and the Chinese faced increasing discrimination and violence (Waxman par.2-4). To escape these hardships, a majority of Chinese immigrants began to move towards the East Coast. These immigrants typically lived in the slums of the Five Points and the boundary of New York. By staying together, they would be able to support each other and separate themselves from the rest of society to live their own lives. As a result of not assimilating and stealing jobs, the U.S. government enacted the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882. This diminished the number of Chinese immigrants who could come to the United States unless they had a special permit to enter. This caused the Chinese immigrants to become devastated because they could not bring their family relatives or friends to join them in the United States.

We recommend using this link for directions to the tour starting point. ​ ​ All the major hop­on, hop­off buses offer at least one stop in Chinatown.

Baxter Street Throughout the 1700s, the area west of Baxter Street and south of Canal Street was a swampy area known as Collect Pond which provided drinking water to Colonial New York. In 1811, ​ ​ the City drained the area by building a canal which was later covered over in 1821 and was named, of course, Canal Street. In 1838, the land where the swamp once was became the site of New York City’s jail. Because the building was built to resemble an Egyptian mausoleum, the jail came to be called “The Tombs”. The original building was torn down and eventually a new modern Manhattan House of Detention was erected. It is still referred to as “the Tombs” by attorneys and prosecutors today. The building next to the jail is Manhattan’s ​ Criminal Court building. It is open to the public and you can sit in on trials during the ​ day or night court from 5 pm­1am.
