Small Business Saturday in Chinatown (Nov 30)
Chinatown Partnership and the Chinatown Business Improvement District are proud to support Small Business Saturday on Nov 30. According to Amex’s 2018 Small Business Economic Impact Study, for every $1 spent at a small business, 67 cents stays in the community — and every cent counts. Join us to celebrate and support small businesses that make communities such Manhattan's Chinatown unique.

Visit our info kiosk at 101 Baxter Street, on Nov 30 between 12pm and 5pm for free giveaways (while supplies last).

Additional ways to participate:

  • Leading up to Small Business Saturday, tell everyone about the small businesses you love. Encourage friends, family, and neighbors to do the same by using #ShopSmall on social media.
  • On Nov 30, get out and shop at the small businesses in Chinatown! Be sure to share your favorite places by using #ShopSmall and #SmallBizSat

We hope you’ll join us in supporting small businesses on Nov 30, and that you’ll remember to Shop Small throughout the holiday season and year-round!

Authorities have finally identified the last victim of October’s horrific massacre in Chinatown that took the lives of four homeless men.

Florencio Moran Camano, 39, will be buried in Mexico, officials said Saturday. He was officially identified earlier this week after investigators found his brother.

Moran remained unidentified for weeks following the Oct. 5 bloodbath because he had no identification on him when he was found sprawled out on the sidewalk on E. Broadway near Catherine St.
