The Chinatown Business Improvement District executive director is helping bring a new breed of restaurateurs to the area, whose attractions include a deep sense of community.
George Yu is navigating his midnight blue Chevy Traverse down Chinatown's narrow Bamboo Lane on an early August afternoon, envisioning a row of street food stalls as part of the neighborhood festival Chinatown Summer Nights that he helps organize. Maybe here will be Ricky's Fish Tacos or papaya salad and griddled coconut cakes, all usually served on weekends in front of nearby Thai market LAX-C, he says, pointing to a couple of parking spots that could be turned into a dining area. Rolling around in the back of his SUV are a couple of growlers (refillable half-gallon bottles much beloved by craft beer fans) from Eagle Rock Brewery, part of his research for a beer garden.
