Little Italy

Experience a slice of Italian-American history in the old Elizabeth Street neighborhood of New York City made famous by director Martin Scorsese. Although the area saw an exodus of residents in the mid-20th century, it's still alive and well today on Mulberry Street between Broome and Canal Streets. Take in the sights of a vibrant checkerboard of tablecloths while feasting on some (mainly mediocre) Italian fare. Don't miss the annual San Gennaro Festival held every September to honor the patron saint of Naples - it's a raucous celebration of Italian culture you won't want to miss!
