Excited
This is a Google Map of Asian and Asian American resources in New York City. I started this map to help me remember them geographically so I could recommend the nearest “Asian thing” to any given person (New Yorkers are very lazy and often are only willing to go within twenty blocks of themselves.)
All of these have been around for years and will probably stick around. Well, Subway Cinema complained in last year’s Asian American Film Festival program guide that they are broke and might not continue. And yet the guide looked like a million dollars! Maybe it’s the rent at their Park Avenue office.
P.S. I threw in a few food trucks and izakayas in for fun and good measure. See the map for yourself, after the jump.

Lily, thanks for taking the time to this! As someone who was in New York last week, this would have been super useful then, but I'm lucky to have gone to the Giant Robot store. It's pretty cool, and also has an art gallery in the front of the store to browse around.
