Make a visit of it
Maya Lin designed the space -- the same architect who did the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. The permanent collection traces Chinese American history through personal stories, not textbook timelines. Small enough to see in 45 minutes.
After: Nom Wah Tea Parlor (dim sum, $8-16). Doyers St, 5 min walk. NYC's oldest dim sum parlor (since 1920). Get the egg rolls and shrimp dumplings.
