I had been coming to Little Italy with my parents since I was little. (Now 71). I always loved these store 😢. I am so sorry to see you leave that corner. With crime now I won’t travel to NYC anymore which makes me so sad Our favorite restaurant many years ago was Luna’s which has been gone now for awhile. 8:12 Though I can still see MaMa sitting there in her chair peeling garlic. I LOVED the original Little Italy. It was my favorite thing in the world to travel there with my parents. I had been going with husband till life changed. ❤🇮🇹
FOND MEMORIES WHEN I WAS 16YEARS OLD I USE TO WORK THERE THE OWNER AND HIS FAMILY TREATED ME LIKE FAMILY TODAY I LIVE IN BORGETTO SICILY AND MY FRIENDS AND I ARE WATCHING THIS VIDEO
Was hoping you’d be there forever. I remember the music always playing from when I was a little girl. E. Rossi - your store made me happy. Will never be forgotten. So sad to see this happening to you. Also, the end of Paolucci’s. Many family dinners were there. Little Italy in our hearts.
This is so sad the end of an incredible important era. We're all immigrants from somewhere else. When ernies' dad began to shed his tears my god I could feel his sadness. Everything is about money these days. However the memories of days gone by. Generations after generations is unforgettable. These were good times. Look at their smiles in the young and old eyes. Bless them all. I wish them all the best.
Your thumbnail shows Florios restaurant. My good friend Larry owned that building. He had a cigar lounge on the second floor. I spent a lot of time there. He passed away in 2011 from cancer. It was a real gentleman. God rest his soul.
Brendan Amoruso here, Larry's nephew, i absolutely adored him as well, Florio's was a unique gem for many years and I am always elated to find friends and patrons post their memories of it this far down the road. Truly was a wonderful time
What is so sad and also a sin is that they're making all these hard-working store owners to sell out to have all these new selfish greedy Realtors by all these properties for what because I don't see 25 30,000 a month is it possible it's just a sin under God's eyes😢
ernie i just saw this continued prayers for you ti amo

I still have things I bought in this store 25 years ago
I will treasure them until I am gone too. Ciao.
I remember this place when his mother, father, and aunt worked there.
Thank God the move was successful or I'd REALLY be depressed right now!
Great story. Sorry for so many folks leaving. I can’t see how he ever got out of there.
