Little Italy New York
Next to Chinatown in Manhattan, just north of Canal Street around Mulberry Street and Spring Street, Little Italy New York features a plethora of restaurants, bars and lounges. Once home to Italian immigrants, the original architecture, mostly six story walk-ups, as well as narrow cobble stone streets with old-world names such as Mulberry and Mott, still grace the area. And, each year in the fall, 3 million New York City residents and tourists crowd the streets for the annual Feast of San Gennaro.
Today, Little Italy New York is often considered more of an East Soho and has been somewhat encroached upon by its booming neighbor, Chinatown. The area is an eclectic blend of young and trend-setting artists and well-to-do professionals. Apartment buildings from the 1800s hug Mulberry Street, upgraded from their original days as cold-water flats, but where you might still be able to find the proverbial "New York City apartment" complete with a bathtub in the kitchen. Because of Little Italy's small size, charm and history, rents here are on par with many other neighborhoods, and availabilty is often scarce.
