I'm Italian ( I live in North Italy,near Milan) and I always was curious about how Little Italy looked like. Obviously when you compare the italo-american culture with the original one they're completely two different worlds, but I'm proud about those people whose parents decided to go to the USA without anything with them but a small amount of money, it's also thanks to them that we live in the Italy that we all know (especially thinking about how they've financially helped their families in South Italy during the past decades), Grazie✨

It’s closer to the hotel they’re staying at, that’s why. Tourists don’t mess with Bronx.

I live in the neighborhood & although it has great restaurants (Tra da Noi on 187th is my favorite) and cafes (yes, Gino's!), its real charm is going "medieval grocery shopping" before making sauce. You go to the market and buy vegetables, then go next door to the baker, then the butcher, the pasta store, the wine shop, right down the line.

When I was a kid I lived in Jersey City NJ. We had a similar neighborhoods. It was called berginline and summet Ave. There were no malls or large supermarkets. Everyone went to summit Ave and there was any kind of store you could imagine. It went on and on and was a experience. Unfortunately these neighborhoods are gone for good. They still exists on Arthur Ave and is a one of a kind of place that is unique in America. Greetings from Atlantic City New Jersey USA

You hear that!! "We have no competition, we just work together " thats the best thing ever!!! That is what success is about....

Hey we just got back from Arthur Ave! Thanks for a great tip, would never have gone there otherwise. Unfortunately Gino’s was closed Monday, we went to Morrone Bakery around the corner and it was excellent! Full Moon pizza was right there, really enjoyed that - nice slices! Got some great bread and biscotti at Addeo bakers. Thanks for all your New York videos, made a huge difference in our trip!

I love Arthur Ave. It is a unique in America. Tons of fun for the whole family. I spent the whole day and did not want to leave the first time I visited. I was reluctant to go the first time because it is in the Bronx and close to the South Bronx which doesn't have the best reputation. It is a very safe neighborhood just like the Italian market in South Philadelphia. They make sure of that. My impression I got after my first visit was that this is Disneyland for adults. I really enjoyed your video. Thank you for posting. I hope that this will inspire New Yorkers to visit and experience a once in a lifetime adventure. Greetings from Atlantic City New Jersey USA

I ve been to little Italy in Manhattan NY; but unfortuntely it s only a few shops and on the brink of disappearing, keeps getting smaller and smaller and being eaten by the ambitious china town , I hope the new generation of Italians keep their very beautiful heritage alive :-(

Thanks for this! My family lives in CT and we come into the city during christmas time every year. We have been to Little Italy in Manhattan but never in the Bronx. Our train goes through the Bronx so this would be an interesting stop! I love that your channel explores little gems within the Burroughs that we may be missing!

I'm from the area , crotona park and that's the only little Italy I've known, great people, great food

I had to scroll back two years just to find this video. Ever since watching this video I told myself one day I would visit the real Little Italy in the Bronx. Happy to report I finally did it! Last week. I was so happy I checked something off my bucket list and had incredible food along the way. I even visited that salami store lol

Why I'm I only discovering this channel now? What have I been doing with my life lol. Your videos are really great and I'm looking forward to watching more. As much as I love Little Italy here in Manhattan, I totally agree with you, Arthur Ave has a a fantastic vibe and the prices are amazing. As an Italian living in NYC it's a home away from home. Hubby and I often take a trip over to the Bronx to have a calamari and some good ol' Italian coffee 🗽

Thanks so much! I always wanted to go there. Now my family will visit!

My grandparents on the Italian side lived on 185th and Cambreleng. So in the 90s I'd be there a couple times a week until I was 11 or 12. I didn't even know there was *another* Little Italy for years. And forget about the other enclaves in Brooklyn, Queens, and Staten Island. Though my uncle lived in Morris Park, so I knew about that. Looking back, I'd say even by then Arthur Avenue was about half Italian. New York always changes. That's just what it is. I mean, people my Dad's age had been moving out for years because of crime. But lots of older folks like my grandparents stayed. We used to run errands for them. Even then the side streets off Arthur Avenue would have Italian run businesses of every type. You didn't go to the super market. you had your barbershops, Italian Ice (or frankfurter) carts, bought your meat, cold cuts, cheese and bread at separate stores, etc. Anyway, I just reminiscing. I'm just glad people still enjoy it today. Great video. And I gotta check out the old one.

My grandfather and aunts lived on Camberling Ave off of 187th St. I was there visiting almost every weekend in the 1960s and 1970s when I was growing up. At that time it seemed like you WERE in Italy. What an experience! The feasts (weekend street festivals) were amazing. My relatives moved away in the 1980s to live closer to us. Now the Italian businesses are so few compared to what used to be. While I do not live very far away, I have not been there in 10 years. Madonia Brothers Bakery is my favorite - their olive bread is one of NYC's treasures! 😋 I would like to go there when this pandemic is over (written Sept. 2020).

We would get some of the best pizza in New York and some great potato and egg sandwiches. Miss that! But, it’s less and less Italian every day. Some of the business shown here are getting overwhelmed by all the Albanians in Arthur ave nowadays. You see more Albanians and Mexicans on Arthur ave today. I miss the old Arthur ave.

my zio my father and I go a few times each year and fill up the trunk of the car with meat and cheese, olives and good roast peppers, biscotti and a couple boxes of cannolis. Then we bring it home to CT and share it with everyone and everyone always loves it. It really is the best food and at the best prices, you rarely find that Connecticut.

Great review on the place where I once lived.

Little Italy on Arthur Ave Bronx NY brings back fond childhood memories for me... It is like stepping back into time....the true flavor of yesteryears.... There is a true sense of authenticity. I grew up in a very traditional Italian home where family was a pinnacle part of growing up....Every Sunday the entire family would gather for feasts. Aunts and Uncles , cousins and adopted family would bring their specialty dishes and the kitchen was the center of gathering...Everyone cooked and cleaned together...men and women. But holidays took on a whole other level....voices always escalated, pinching of cheeks that the kids ran from, sampling of food as it was prepared, Kids had there own table and the adults sat another table...all counters, stove all surfaces etc. were laden with aromatic delicacies and large tables had to be brought in for the overflow of food dishes...cookie platters, cakes, seafood, salads, vegetable dishes, pasta dishes, meat dishes...nothing left out... However Aunt Gee made the best Italian Easter pie. There are many versions of this exquisite delight, but it is made of either wheat berries or rice, with citrus, often with Ricotta cheese, but a key element is the orange blossom water....The grain pies are a bit heavier than the rice pies, but no matter what Easter was not Easter without Italian Easter Pie....Its a childhood comfort food....This Sunday, my daughter and I will be venturing to Little Italy on Arthur Avenue in the Bronx to get fresh made Mozzarella, Bread, Pastries, and of course Italian Easter Pie... Quality and prices are superb. www.arthuravenuebronx.com/

New subscriber here from Australia 🙋🏻‍♀️ but I’m Italian and this was a fantastic video. I would love to visit New York one day 😍

always passed by little italy since its close to my former middle school, wish i visited more

I love this video. We are planning to go to NY next year. Thank you for this video.❤❤❤

No bread like Bronx bread! Yum!

Thanks 🙏 😊 for this great 👍 video. I should visit there one day.

Enzo's would definitely be a must. My step-granny was an authentic Italian cook from Enna, Sicily, she taught me a lot but not everything before she passed, I've yet to taste Italian food as good as hers.
