There are actually more authentic Chinatowns in Flushing, Queens and Brooklyn. The Manhattan Chinatown is known as Canal Street to tourists. Canal street is the tourist Chinatown but if you want the actual neighborhood where the chinese markets are and yummy food you have to get away from McDonald's and Burger King on Canal Street and head towards the Lower East Side.
Fried Dumpling is an amazing hole in the wall which has yummy dumplings and they're only 5 for $1! There are no seats but walk down the street to Columbus Park and enjoy the neighborhood.
Chinatown Ice Cream Factory is a fun place to go and get ice cream in uncommon flavors like green tea, NYC cupcake, and chocolate bacon.
Also, dear friends of mine make their first stop at Nice Green Bo, near the Ice Cream Factory, when they first arrive in NYC. I haven't been yet so I can't write about it, but it comes recommended from multiple people I trust.
