6 Stop 6 of 12 on The Bloody Angle and the Golden Buddha

Pell Street

Chinatown, New York City

A Preview

"Pell Street. Short, narrow, and today almost entirely barbershops — you can get a haircut on this block roughly forty different ways. A century ago it was headquarters for one side of a war, and the war was run by two of the most entertaining criminals New York ever produced. The man who ran Chinatown was named Tom Lee."
