Ladies pushing carts full of bootleg DVDs run like hell and shopkeepers quickly hide their fakes or even pull the metal doors down. Once I even saw the police chase a young woman carrying a bundle of cash in her hand. It was awesome. Personally, I'm not big on fakes. Most of them are cheesy and there are few things more annoying than to see a perfectly serviceable bag or scarf or hat marred with an obviously fake designer logo on it. Once I did buy a phony Kate Spade bag, not because I thought, "Oooh, Kate Spade knockoff!" but because I liked the bag in spite of it being a fake. It looks nothing like a real Spade bag but it was cute nonetheless. The Kate Spade label was nothing more than a sticker! So I happily peeled it off. I can only imagine what fake designer jeans must be like. Yuck! You haven’t experienced Chinatown NYC if you aren’t around when the cops come driving by on Canal Street.
