"Far East Plaza’s busy breezeway is the kiosk home for Bakers Bench and sits at the center of ongoing neighborhood change in Chinatown: the plaza has been a focal point for conversations about gentrification since Roy Choi opened Chego there in 2013 and has since attracted high-profile tenants such as the cookbook store Now Serving, the coffee shop Endorffeine, and Scoops ice cream, even as longtime, lower-income residents and older businesses navigate rising commercial development." - Cathy Chaplin
