New York's Real Little Italy

The Little Italy we all know and love, and where tourists flock for walk down memory lane spans Mulberry Street between Canal and Mott in Manhattan has always had its charm. It has gone from the turn of the century (two centuries ago) cheek - to - jowl real Italian neighborhood to today, a largely Disney like experience made for tourist consumption, yet still charming.

For those that want to experience NYC's Real Little Italy you have to travel uptown on the D Trains and walk a few blocks to Arthur Avenue in the Bronx. It's still the hottest Italian neighborhood outside of Brooklyn, although it is often a well-kept secret.


The Real Little Italy stretches across to from Arthur Avenue to Prospect along East 187th Street where you have the inner streets of Italian American notables including Belmont, Hughes, Arthur, Hoffman and more.


Generations of Italian American families dating back to New York immigrant waves of early 1900's built businesses and created a small-town atmosphere that is best characterized with the sweet smell of Italian sausage and peppers.
