Video: Journey To... China Connection

In Episode 3 of his travel series, comedian Steve Strangio takes us to a gift shop and historic landmark in West Hempstead.

We really stumbled upon a true gem on our latest journey.

You've probably passed by this West Hempstead establishment several times while driving along Hempstead Avenue.

From the outside, China Connection looks just like a house if you overlook the business sign posted on the lawn, but venture inside and you'll discover many beautiful treasures, including a nugget of local history, in this gift shop.

We carefully took a tour of this unique store and West Hempstead landmark - two guys and a camera could easily make for a bull-in-china-shop scenario - and discovered the many wonders of China Connection.
