New York |
Frank Sinatra, Italian Restaurants and kitsch draw tourists to this lively neighborhood surrounding Mulberry Street. The Feast of San Gennaro still welcomes its throngs, but the neighborhood is fast being surrounded by nearby Chinatown. Originally populated by immigrants from Southern Italy, legend has it that the first pizzeria in New York City opened in Little Italy. Many scenes from Francis Ford Coppola's The Godfather were filmed in the neighborhood. While the Chinese influence may be winning out, Little Italy still serves to give that Mediterranean flavor to tourists. Review © 2009, Wcities |
