Pulque at Pulqueria
NY – Before Pulqueria came on the scene, we would have never thought of Chinatown as a destination for Mexican. Lately though, it’s almost all we can think of.

Trust us, just finding it can be an adventure in itself! More

Watson Adventures has grown into a nationwide company that offers private hunts just about anywhere, while we stage hunts for the public on weekends in New York, Boston, Chicago, Philadelphia, Washington D.C., San Francisco and Los Angeles. But one of my favorite hunt locations remains in New York’s Chinatown and Little Italy, a lively jumble of cultures, with great restaurants and fascinating (but mostly hidden) history. Here’s a “micro-tour” of the area based on highlights from our hunts. More
