Little Italy

Little Italy is the little slice of romance in lower Manhattan. If there’s one thing this neighborhood is known to have, it’s food. There’s just nothing quite like being able to walk-around amongst authentic Italian restaurants in a city like New York. The calm, enchanting charm of this area is just as inviting as its residents. Living in this neighborhood makes you feel as though you have truly found home. Home to the Feast of San Gennaro, this festival takes place every year in September, which has become an annual celebration of food and drinks. 

There’s an unexpectedly cool and calming vibe when hanging out in this enclave. In addition to many Italian eateries, this gem of a neighborhood is also home to cool coffee shops, wine bars, and owner-run restaurants. Locals who crave respite from a busy Soho like to come here to sit at cafes and take it all in.

Little Italy is full of street art, home to St. Patrick’s Old Cathedral, and the first US pizzeria, Lombardi’s.
