The old Five Points district is in Chinatown. Many of the streets have been renamed since then, or re-routed into different streets altogether, so it can be pretty confusing to figure out exactly where the Five Points was. The approximate location of the old Five Points intersection is the present-day intersection of Baxter and Worth Streets. In the old days, this was the intersection of Orange, Anthony, and Cross Streets.
