Bronx Little Italy
Since its founding, the Belmont section of the Bronx—affectionately known as “Little Italy”—has played a vital role in the development of the borough and the city. The Italian immigrants who moved to this Manhattan neighborhood in the late 19th century brought their customs, food and language. To this day, Little Italy’s streets are lined with quaint Italian restaurants with red-and-white checkered tablecloths.
According to New York magazine, “Once, Little Italy was like an insular Neapolitan village re-created on these shores, with its own language, customs, and financial and cultural institutions.” It’s the home of the fictional Corleone crime family depicted in the three “Godfather” films. In “The Sopranos” finale, a character walks down a block and finds himself in Chinatown, which conveys how Little Italy has shrunk.
Arthur Avenue in the heart of Little Italy features world-class restaurants, top-notch artisanal food stores and specialty stores carrying handmade local and imported items. A charming old-world atmosphere emanates from the generations of Italian families who continue to give this neighborhood a welcoming small-town feel. It’s an absolute must to visit this vibrant community while you’re in NYC!
