213 numbers for Chinatown businesses

Los Angeles' Chinatown lies just north of the Civic Center. Its Central Plaza was dedicated on June 25, 1938, and the Chinese Historical Society of Southern California describes it as the first modern American Chinatown owned and planned from the ground up by Chinese Americans.

Restaurants, bakeries, markets, shops and galleries line its streets. Chinatown is one of several Los Angeles neighborhoods, with Little Tokyo, Koreatown and Historic Filipinotown, recognized as Preserve America communities.

Numbers that fit

In Chinese, eight sounds like the word for prosperity, so an 8-heavy number makes a good main line or an opening-day gift. Many buyers also check that the number has no 4.

No 213 number belongs to a particular neighborhood. Since the 2017 overlay, 213 numbers go to lines across the whole 213 and 323 area, not just downtown, and a 213 number on a mobile phone works anywhere.
