Storefront buildings with rents much lower than those of their taller neighbors provide homes not only to the many Vietnamese restaurants that have grown up there but also to a rich mix of Thai, Japanese, Chinese, Mexican, Salvadoran, Indian, and Middle Eastern establishments.

Originally from the September 1997 issue.
