Parking
During the week you should have no problem finding street parking, but it can be more difficult on weekends. Fortunately there are two parking lots in Chinatown.
Chinatown Parking is located kitty-corner from the Chinatown gate, across the street from Three Happiness Restaurant (2130 S. Wentworth Ave.). With validation from participating restaurants on your parking ticket, it’s $2.00 for 3 hours.
There's also a parking lot operated by Hunter Parking on Wentworth Ave. and 24th St, next to the Pacific Global Bank. While no validation is available for this lot, it is relatively inexpensive.
Public transport
Take the El, it's an excellent alternative to driving. The Red Line stops right here. Get off at Cermak-Chinatown, which is the stop between Roosevelt and 31st/Comiskey Park. The Red Line runs between Howard and 95th St. 24 hours a day. Facing west, you'll be able to get a good view of Chinatown from the platform. On alighting from the El, exit the platform, go down the stairs and make a right.
Taxis
It's about $10 by taxi to and from downtown. On your return trip, our member restaurants can call you a cab. |
