    One of the suburbs of NYC is Little Italy. You will find good restaurants up here. And it is nice to walk around in this busy suburb.

    I enjoyed walking through Little Italy and feeling the buzz with the Italian Americans.
    But then perhaps it was the massage I had before hand in the street from a china man, which made me feel good.
    New York its international !

    Little Italy is surrounded by China town and located in the lower Manhattan area (Mulberry Street). This place was home to Italian-Americans but which has shrunk in size as many of them have left seeking housing in other places. Loads of best restaurants , pubs and cafes and smell of pizza.

    The Little Italy of legend is fast disappearing - indeed, many would say it's already long gone. The area is shrinking, with Chinatown growing northwards, so that some streets have quite a mixture of Italian and Chinese names. And few Italians live in the area now, either: people commute downtown for work, but the most authentic Italian communities are elsewhere in the city, such as near Fordham university. Still, there's no denying the tourist appeal of Little Italy, and the narrow, bustling streets help perpetuate the image of a lively, slightly raucous area.

    These days, the waiters hustling for business occasionally seem as numerous as the visitors, and finding a place to eat can be hit or miss. A lot of the restaurants serve the same fare, so just try to compete on price and pick a place that looks like it does good business.

    Better yet, pop into several of the Italian stores, where you will still catch a sense of the old days, with people speaking Italian, buying magazines from the old country, or foods that you won't see your local supermarket. Best of all are the sandwich shops: take a place in line, pick out your hero, and they'll add salamis, cheeses, peppers and whatever you want, the whole thing drenched in olive oil and folded into a crusty roll. Find the nearest park and tuck into the very best that Little Italy has to offer!

    After dining at midnight, and before heading out for our last night of "club-hopping"....it's always helpful to top the delicious dinner off with a cup o' java.

    The Little Italy in NYC was a disappointed for me. It was too touristy. You basically have a few blocks of expensive Italian restaurants. Sorry folks, I love Italian food, but not when it's this touristy. I'd skip it and head to the livier China town next street.

  • Centered around Mulberry Street from Spring Street to Canal Street in Manhattan, Little Italy is packed with New York's best Italian restaurants and cafes offering great food at reasonable prices. Walking down the narrow streets you're tempted by the sights, sounds and smells of Italian cuisine and culture coming from the restaurants surrounding you at every step. Oh, this Spaghetti Carbonara was so good... yummy :-))

    Little Italy is getting more and more little??? I think Chinatown is eating Little Italy.

    Have pasta with red wine in a restaurant and enjoy this colorful neighborhood

    Walking beside the narrow, cobblestoned streets beneath the fire escapes of turn-of-the-century tenements, you're tempted by the sights, sounds and smells of Italian cuisine and culture emanating from the restaurants surrounding you at every step.
