4 Doyers Street. As you walk along Bowery, keep an eye out for Doyers Street, a narrow, crooked alleyway. This area was once notorious for activity by gangs known as tongs (the “activity” was mainly of the violent sort and often involved hatchets, which gave rise to the term “hatchet man”). Doyers Street has a sharp bend in it–locals call it an elbow–which made it impossible to see who was around the corner.

5 Edward Mooney House. This Georgian brick structure, painted red, is the oldest row house in the city, dating from George Washington’s New York days. Wealthy merchant Edward Mooney had the house built in 1785 on property abandoned by a Tory during the American Revolution. 18 Bowery (at Pell St.).

6 ★★ Ping’s. Chinatown is famous for its midday dim sum palaces, where servers offer choice little delicacies from carts they wheel around the restaurant floor. Great for sharing (and a smart economical choice), these morsels often include har gow (shrimp dumplings), pork buns, even chicken feet. Among the best is Ping’s, with fresh seafood. 22 Mott St. 212/602-9988. $.
