You know how America is a big, big country with lots of different people? Well, some of those people are called Asian Americans. They come from different countries in Asia, like China, Korea, Japan, and many others.

And New York City is also a big, big place with lots of people. In fact, it's one of the biggest cities in the whole world! And because it's such a big city, there are lots and lots of Asian Americans who live there.

In fact, Asian Americans make up a pretty big part of New York City's population. Some neighborhoods in the city, like Chinatown or Koreatown, have lots of people who are Asian American.

And when you walk around the city, you might see lots of signs and stores and restaurants that look different than what you're used to. That's because some of those businesses are run by Asian Americans who want to share their culture and traditions with others.
