波士頓市長藉社交媒體鼓勵居民、遊客進華埠消費

(Boston Orange編譯) 波士頓市長馬丁華殊(Martin J. Walsh)和波士頓經濟發展辦公室2月13日發表文宣，短視頻，還在社交媒體上推出”小企業賓果”活動，鼓勵居民、遊客進波士頓華埠消費，支持本地商家。

           馬丁華殊說，”華埠是波士頓市內許多活躍社區之一，我鼓勵所有居民及遊客來支持這使得我們多元化，並成為世界級城市的小企業。這些小企業是我們社區的命脈，在我們慶祝農曆新年之際，你能幫助支持華埠生意”。

           波士頓市經濟發展辦公室將用#LoveBostonChinatown這井字號，來鼓勵使用者在農曆新年期間分享他們進華埠消費，支持小企業的圖片。

           華埠景象繁榮，區內店鋪，餐廳密集，歷史性建築內住著一戶戶人家。從那兒進城中區，劇院區，以及波士頓的水前區，都很容易。橫跨必珠街(Beach)的優雅牌樓，是華埠的東面入口，有著流水，竹枝等獨特景觀的華埠公園，可以讓人放鬆的歇腳，喘口氣。

           波士頓華埠主街的董事們說，他們很高興有居民及遊客探索華埠的獨特餐館，文化地標，以及隱藏著的寶石，可以讓每個人都有收穫。他們為能和波士頓市長一起宣傳這兒多元的餐廳，店舖及歷史而感到驕傲。

           在遊客從四面八方來品味華埠具亞裔特色的店舖、餐廳之際，華埠也是其他企業、組織的所在地，包括塔芙茨醫療中心，作為波士頓鐵路及巴士主要中心的南車站，每天都把許多遊客帶進這地區。華埠主街支持地區企業東主及非牟利機構。

MAYOR WALSH, CITY OF BOSTON LAUNCH AWARENESS CAMPAIGN TO PROMOTE SMALL BUSINESSES IN CHINATOWN

BOSTON - Thursday, February 13, 2020 - Mayor Martin J. Walsh and the Office of Economic Development today encouraged residents and visitors to support local businesses in Boston's Chinatown, and launched a "small business bingo" card for social media. 

"Chinatown is one of the many vibrant neighborhoods in Boston, and I encourage all our residents and visitors to support the small businesses that make us a diverse and world-class city," said Mayor Walsh. "Our small businesses are the lifeblood of our communities, and you can help support Chinatown businesses as we celebrate the Lunar New Year." 

The Office of Economic Development will be using the hashtag #LoveBostonChinatown, and encourages users to share photos of themselves in Chinatown supporting small businesses using #LoveBostonChinatown during the Chinese New Year. 

Chinatown's dense mix of shops, restaurants, and housing in historic buildings creates an ever-bustling neighborhood. There's easy access to Downtown, the Theater District, and Boston's dynamic waterfront. Chinatown's elegant gate across Beach Street marks the eastern entrance to the neighborhood. With its unique water features and bamboo, Chinatown Park forms a place of respite.

"We are delighted to have residents and visitors explore Chinatown's unique restaurants, cultural landmarks, and hidden gems that offer something for everyone. We are proud to join Mayor Walsh and promote Chinatown's diverse mix of restaurants, shops, and history," said the Chinatown Main Streets Board of Directors.

While visitors come from all over to sample Chinatown's range of specialty Asian shops and restaurants, Chinatown is also home to a number of other businesses and organizations, including Tufts Medical Center. South Station serves as a major rail and bus hub for Boston, bringing numerous visitors through the area every day. Chinatown Main Street supports area business owners and nonprofits.

More information about businesses and services in Chinatown is available by visiting Chinatown Main Street.
