Little Italy

Little Italy, in Lower Manhattan, is a historic neighborhood that still carries the flavor of New York’s immigrant past with its old-world charm and lively streets. Centered along Mulberry Street, it’s best known for its Italian restaurants, pastry shops, and annual festivals like the Feast of San Gennaro, which fill the area with music, food, and tradition. 

While the neighborhood has become smaller over the years as Chinatown expanded around it, Little Italy remains a cultural landmark, drawing both locals and visitors who come for classic red-sauce dining, cannoli, and a taste of nostalgic New York. Its narrow streets and decorative facades create a vibrant, almost cinematic atmosphere, making it a neighborhood where history, food, and community converge in the heart of downtown Manhattan.
