Chinatown Plaza & Saigon Plaza
Overview: Across the Central Plaza on Broadway, are other well-known Plazas: the Chinatown Plaza, Dynasty Center and Saigon Plaza. Many of the shops are represented by other Asian communities such as Vietnam. Chinatown Plaza is known as Old Chinatown Plaza, which includes souvenir shops, jewelry stores and more. The Dynasty Center has a large swap meet.
Saigon Plaza is perhaps the most interesting of the three adjacent plazas. It’s a cramped but long outdoor plaza with fruits, knickknacks, good bargains and crowds.
