Chinatown kitchens and city-center counters
Chinatown is at the heart of downtown’s restaurant work. Chinese and Vietnamese restaurants fill the blocks around Beach Street and Harrison Avenue, and the work there includes line cooks, prep cooks, dishwashers, servers and counter staff. Chinatown Gate, at Beach Street and Surface Road, marks the way in from South Station.
To the north, the central building of Quincy Market is a long hall of food counters, with restaurants in the North and South Market buildings beside it at Faneuil Hall Marketplace. Downtown Crossing has a food court and lunch counters, and the Financial District’s office towers keep lunch spots and hotel kitchens busy on weekdays.
The Orange Line’s Chinatown station and the Silver Line’s stop at Chinatown Gate serve the restaurant blocks, while State and Government Center stations, on the Blue, Orange and Green Lines, are a short walk from Faneuil Hall. After a late close in Chinatown, check the last train home before you leave.
