In-Depth Information
Organized crime was once a part of Little Italy, and numerous movies have depicted grandi-
ose schemes by those who called this enclave their home. Today however, it is much more
a metropolitan area boasting authentic Italian restaurants and stores that offer unique and
imported items that may be challenging to find elsewhere. You may have to spend quite a
bit of time in the neighborhood before you actually hear anyone speaking Italian!
Both Chinatown and Little Italy are worth a visit, not only to take in a bit of New York's
diverse history, but to also enjoy some of the amazing meals from restaurants that have
helped put Little Italy on the map.
