If you're looking for more historical information, some great resouces in the library are the New York series book by Robert AM Stern. It starts with New York 1880 and goes on to New York 2000. If you're looking for information on our neighborhood in these earlier eras, look for it as Lower East Side. It wasn't Chinatown until later.
Another great one is A History of Housing in New York City, by Richard Plunz, especially for those interested in housing and how the fabric of the city has changed over time.
Both can be found in the NJIT Architecture Library.
