Doyers Street
Off Mott Street, running between Pell Street and Chatham Square, this unusual street features a 90-degree turn. Why? It was once the driveway of brewer Heinreich Doyer's home.
In early Chinatown, Doyer Street was the center of commercial life. The building that housed a 400 seat theater where Cantonese opera was performed is still there. Remnants of the era include one of Chinatown's first dim sum restaurants, and lots of barber shops.
