The picture on the left, was the view from my uncle's apartment, it was an amazing view.
China Town - We were the only "white people" in sight. We were even refused lunch service because they didn't have any English menus.

My favorite tour had to be this Jewish synagogue, it was in the heart of China Town, which used to be called "Little Germany". It was beautiful, and the guide was amazing, she shared some of the greatest stories from the early immigrants.
