Chinatown

Eighth Avenue between 42nd and 68th Streets

This is the third Chinatown in New York City. Chinese immigrants made their way to Brooklyn from Chinatown in Manhattan in the 1980s, traveling on the N train from Canal Street to 62nd Street. Because the station is above-ground and open-air, the Chinese immigrants nicknamed it “Blue Sky Station,” which also references the relatively suburban environment of this Brooklyn neighborhood.
