City Room reports on OurChinatown, a new blog devoted to Manhattan’s Chinatown made by its (Chinese) residents and for its residents—but also for anyone else who might be interested in reading.

We would like to say: Welcome! When Tablet Magazine launched nearly two years ago, we asked editors at several other ethnic publications for advice. It is worth re-watching what they said.

If I had to add anything, it would be: Cover sports! Every ethnicity loves cheering on their sports heroes.
