A cancelled license usually means the place closed, but not always: it can also mean an ownership change. Places that got a new license at the same address under a similar name are left out. 280 liquor licenses are active in Chinatown now.

A story counts when its headline, summary or tags mention Chinatown or a landmark in it. We read each outlet's public feed, only where its robots.txt allows, and keep the headline, outlet, date and link; never the article. Stories stay listed for 6 months.

Where the events come from

Only calendars that publish listings for computers to read are included, so some events are missing; the "Also check" links cover the rest. Know a public calendar that should be here? Tell us.
