Check out this quote from MOCA's website:
"Discover the history and experience the energy of one of New York City’s oldest neighborhoods! Led by trained MOCA guides, this walking tour focuses on how everyday buildings and places of historical significance reflect and shape a community from its origins as a Native American village of Werpoes Hill in 1600 to one of the fastest growing immigrant communities of present day New York City. Highlighted sites include the oldest row house in Manhattan, a Catholic church, the oldest general store in Chinatown and a Chinese eatery that catered to the needs of Chinatown’s turn-of-the-century 'bachelor society.'"
