Mott Street Girls LLC

Mott Street Girls (MSG) was founded in March 2020 by Anna Huang and Chloe Chan. They are second-generation Chinese Americans who met through tour guide training at the Museum of Chinese in America. During the COVID-19 crisis, they saw how xenophobia and misinformation decimated tourism in Chinatown and threatened the survival of many residents and immigrant-owned small businesses. This led them to co-found MSG to make Chinese American history and culture more accessible to the public. By hosting Chinatown walking tours, creating educational social media content, and partnering with community organizations, they strive to preserve Chinatown’s rich cultural heritage, bring business to the neighborhood, and share the stories of their community. Our fundraising efforts also raised over $18,000 for the Chinatown community. We are a minority and women-owned business. Our walking tours have been featured on The Today Show, NBC New York, Fodor's Travel, Infatuation, Patch, Bon Appétit, World Journal, NY1, PIX11, Quickbooks, Culture Trip, The Hoboken Girl, and Currents News.
