Eat Chinatown Photo Exhibit at 41 Ross
We want to share a new photo exhibit we’re working on! This one is about classic Chinatown restaurants, diners and bakeries that have been operating in San Francisco for at least 40 years.
EAT CHINATOWN
The exhibit focuses on four well-loved restaurants: New Lun Ting Cafe (better known as Pork Chop House), Capital Restaurant, Hon’s Wun-Tun House and Eastern Bakery.
Join us for the opening reception Friday, January 20th from 5-9pm at 41 Ross. Beer and snacks will be provided.
The exhibit runs Jan 20 - April 9.
41 Ross Alley, San Francisco 94108
Gallery Hours: Thursday - Saturday, 11am - 4pm.
ABOUT THE SHOW
Photographer Andria Lo and writer Valerie Luu (founders of Chinatown Pretty, a street-style blog that documents Chinatown seniors) profiled four eateries and their faithful patrons to understand San Francisco Chinatown’s food culture.
Eat Chinatown will feature personal narratives, present-day and historic photos, menus and ephemera. It aims to capture what these establishments mean to the SF community, to three generations of San Franciscans and to people who simply love Chinese food.
SPONSORS
The photo exhibit is a part of Spotlight Chinatown, a project of the Chinatown Community Development Center supported by the San Francisco Office of Economic and Workforce Development and SFMTA.
The goal of Spotlight Chinatown is to promote local businesses, especially those that are impacted by the Central Subway construction and to highlight Chinatown’s unique neighborhood character through photographs and stories. More at spotlightchinatown.com
