-Little Italy

-Historically, Little Italy extend as far south as Bayard

Street, as far north as Bleecker, as far west as Lafayette
and as far east as the Bowery.

-Much of the neighborhood has been absorbed by

Chinatown
-The street is lined with some two-dozen Italian
restaurants popular with tourists, and seemingly very
few locals. Unlike Chinatown, which continues to
expand in all directions with new immigrants, little
remains of the original Little Italy.
-well-known for The Feast of San Gennaro, a large
street fair, lasting 11 days, that takes place every
September along Mulberry Street between Houston and
Mosco Streets.
-Mulberry Street is named for the mulberry trees that
once lined Mulberry Bend
