My Grandparents were born on Mulberry and my family lived on Mott street until 2003. I miss that place but I continue to go down and eat in the Italian restaurants. So many memories. It was the best place in the world to live.
I have 2x great-grandparents who immigrated in 1888 and lived on Mulberry street, 81 Mulberry in 1900 according to the census. My great-grandfather was born in 1905 probably also on Mulberry. By 1920, my great-grandfather was living in Essex, NJ. I wish I had more of the history of their lives, but none of that was really carried down to my generation. I've never been to NYC and I think if I went, I'd be disappointed that it wasn't my ancestor's NY.
I’m Italian but I love the spirit of the Italian American communities in cities like New York, Philly, Boston. Living on the east coast offers so much history and diversity it’s a shame these communities are disappearing
I'm an American, but actually got to live in Naples, Italy from 1970-1976 age 7 to 14. Never have I had such great tasting pasta or pizza in my life....and never since.....then moved to Athens, Greece from 1976 -1981 age 14 to 17 where I graduated high school. I had a great experience growing up.
I've been to Taylor St, Little Italy in Chicago for the Italian Festival and these people are school because bit doesn't matter how old your are or when ur family came over, these peoples heritage and traditions lives on through them. Its such a historical place.
It went downhill in the 90's when they started selling rice and beans at the San Gennaro festival. The Italian feel is lost, too many generations have passed and the first generation Italian American can only tell his kids about great memories while his kids roll their eyes and have no clue what prosciutto is.
Buona Sera My fellow Brothers and Sisters. I am a native Bronx New Yorker transplanted into the American Southwest. I agree and appreciate the posting and sharing of this sad but great video......If I had the money to do this idea I would find a nice spread of land in the central part of the country and build a village with buildings similar to some what of little Italy or like in parts of both Italy and the Bronx .People could walk on a sunny beautiful Sunday , enjoying Gelato or Italian ices or a cup of espresso or coffee or a nice Italian 5 star plate of great pasta.....anyway again Grazie for the post...Buona Sera ,,.....Ciao...
Online unfortunately. Unless there's a movement to preserve ethnic identity in this new country online will be the only place where there is a real community. Maybe certain authentic cafes and and restaurants will be meeting grounds for Italian Americans but I would love to see an Italian American enclave continue into eternity.
@MTG Zombie Yikes that's what racist Anglos said about our ancestors. My grandparents would talk about how they had to walk miles out of their way to avoid racist cops who would harass them for being Italian and not speaking English well. The problem is more on us as a people. We adopted the ways of America, we stopped speaking Italian, we stopped marrying Italians and married into White American families, we left the Italian Catholic churches, we left our enclaves for white picket fences in the suburbs and traded traditional Mediterranean values for American materialism and immorality.
I’m 55 and lived in CA my whole life. As a kid all the parents on the street were our moms and dads. If they saw you doing something wrong they said knock it off. Today nobody even knows there neighbors let alone speaks the same language.
Hi "iitaly", just in case, I share my comment again, because I accidentally did some mistakes about some historical/ ethnic terms in my previous comment. You have very interesting videos about New York Italians, and I also live 22 years in New York, and I also know about these places of city, including " Little Italy", And all respect to Italy, Italian people, diverse Italian cultures/ culture (beginning from ancient times and continuing with next times: Roman times, Renaissance time, Boticheli, Vivaldi, Verdi, Felini, Mastroiani and so on.) from Georgia...Also just in case, as from historian by education, Etruscan people from Italy, Georgians in Georgia (Black Sea region of Europe in Caucasus), Corsicans in Corsica, Spanish Iberian in Spain, Picts in Britain and other Iberian, Ibero/ Celtic people have same ethno- ethnic origin and represent Iberian race, Iberian peoples, Ibero/ Celtic people of Europe (Also, in the form of the relevant historical times, of mixed ethno, ethnic, cultural ties between the ancestors of Georgians, Georgians and Romans, including the Eastern Romans (Romans-Byzantines), etc.) and this why they (we) all have similarities, or identical in culture, in folk music, in ancient/ follk architectural style and so on. Sincerely, alex
One of the clients, originally from Italy, with higher education, hearing that my brother is Georgian, said about the Georgians: Ah, our cousins, and this is absolutely true, in the form of the Etruscans, Sardinians, also, in the form of the relevant historical times, of mixed ethno, ethnic, cultural ties between the ancestors of Georgians, Georgians and Romans, including the Eastern Romans (Romans-Byzantines), etc., so for centuries and millennia between the ancestors of the Georgians and the Romans, after the Eastern Romans, there were closely mixed ethno-cultural relations, which also accordingly affected the genetic level of the peoples of the Georgians and Italians and so on...🇮🇹 🇬🇪
Same thing happened in Australia, the Italians migrated out in the 30s & 40s and the Anglos moaned & winged about it, but their food & passion for life came with them and helped shape Australia into a multicultural society especially Melbourne Victoria & North Queensland, thank God for the Italians ..
Sucks!. My Little Italy neighborhood has been changing for the past three years! All the families are leaving because of the Chinese moving into Omaha, same as New York. I feel you, bro.
New York wasn't New York when I left in 2003. I used to sing in Little Italy. Cafe Palermo and Casa Bella. It was a great summer, 1995. A dream come true. People giving me money for singing their song.
@MIND you sir, are stupidity on parade and you know as much about population genetics and physiological anthropology as Donald Trump knows about marital integrity.
Im 1st generation Italian and im sorry to say little Italy NYC is gone! The Italians moved up to the suburbs or outer boro's bc the little Italy apartments were cramped for 8 people. They all wanted to "out do" each other and compete with buying bigger houses in nice neighborhoods. In any event, i recommend everyone visits little Italy in Boston, Mass. Its Boston's north end. Its prob the best little Italy around. Still very old school. Google it if your hesitant, its awesome
Come ha detto un uomo molto saggio," Non si può tornare mai più a casa!" La stessa medessima cosa è successo al mio quartiere nel South Philly; è completamente cambiato. Così è la vita....
The lack of community feeling seems to exist everywhere in America. I live in South Carolina and there's a Dollar General and Walmart just about every five miles from one another.
I'm a former cop, i know all about Mott street and Mulberry street - I had a lot of friends in the FBI who also were quite familiar with the neighborhood. But somehow our memories of the old days there are quite different than these sweet sentiments from the ordinary, hard-working residents of the area.
Sono Orgoglioso di essere italiano, orgoglioso per tutti i miei paesani che sono andati negli stati uniti tra il 1900 -1960 , veramente un orgoglio che il nostro stato non guarda , ,quelle vie devono rimanere italiane , via i cinesi non c'entrano nulla , i cinesi si vogliono comprare italia e tutti i luoghi che gli italiani hanno fatto grandi
@ haha I wrote this 4 years ago, it is funny how racism still exist in your head I grew up in Italy, probably more Italian than your white ass, allora Vaffanculo, figlio di zoccola. 🫡
MY NEIGHBORHOOD. BORN RAISED AND STILL HERE. NYC 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱. MY GRANDFATHER AND DAD WERE OWNERS OF ALL GROCERY STORE PRINCE ST. AND MOTT ST. NIGHT CLUBS ON FORSYTHE ST. MY GRANDPARENTS HAVE 80 YEARS IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD. I WENT TO ST PATRICK SCHOOL. OUR SPRING ST PARK EVERYONE HERE PLAYED DOMINOS CARDS MUSIC AND BASKETBALL.
Unfortunately one thing that is constant and definite is CHANGE! Little Italy in Manhattan was filled with Italian Americans for MUCH longer than other Little Italy's in other parts of New York and America
Went there, nyc. I met many Italian Americans, i was surprised at least 50% where Italian Americans ju's like the movie director Martin Scorsese and other famous Italian Americans.
The Italians left Italy for a better life, now they have left Little Italy for a better life. Chinese have left China to settle in Little Italy for a better life and then they will leave for even better life as a new community moves in one day seeking their fortune. It's happened to every ethnic community, even Harlem is changing through gentrification,
We sold out Mediterranean family oriented culture of Southern Italy for American values of materialism, snobbery, and immorality. We left our enclaves, churches, and language, married into non Italian families, chased doctors degrees, the almighty dollar, and the white picket fences of Anglo Suburbia. Can't blame other ethnicities for taking the place of our abandoned neighborhoods. I keep the culture and traditions but am finding myself in ever dwindling company. Though a shadow of the past the realest continue on. I speak the language fluently, go to the Motherland often, and keep up with the Faith and traditions of our ancestors.
And you were lucky we accepted you in "Anglo Suburbia", because you had five thousand years to create your Mediterranean paradise and you blew it. And for you to shit on your fellow Americans by calling American values "materialism, snobbery, and immorality", let me remind you that thirty thousand Americans were killed in ONE YEAR (1943-1944) liberating your Mediterranean paradise. THIRTY THOUSAND! Oh, and the American army prevented mass starvation in Italy after the war. Did you know that? And the American army also had to prevent a civil war in Italy between the Fascists and Communists. So, it's pretty fair to say the majority of Italians supported Totalitarianism. But you call Americans immoral?? The nerve of you.
I couldn't believe it, I just went to Motts st thinking there was going to be italian flags and shops everywhere, everything is just chinatown now. Lost all its charm.
@MTG Zombie And the 1964 Civil Rights Act . This Act granted Blacks and Puerto Ricans and later the Dominicans the right to move and live anyplace they wanted . So they came in and displaced Whites and took over. The same happened in many Cities and Towns of the United States.
i liked this video but it made me kind of sad that all the old people are dying of old age and then the youngsters will also die of old age and it just keeps going like that. its sad :(
I'm Italian from Italy and i want to say Ciao Fratelli ! but not even in Italy we are preserving our culture, chineses bought everything here too ahaha
That’s because there’s no Italians….we are Americans. Big difference. Same thing happened in Philly. Any Italians that wanted to be here are already here. You don’t have them coming over in droves anymore like my family did at Ellis Island. It’s done. And that’s that.
At 4:38,..yes,he DOES look part Chinese.Remember.Chinatown Manhattan has become steadily taking over Little Italy.My great grandmother was half Italian.The Italian peoples,They know their blood lineage-history has African roots.By way of the Moors,The Great African General Hannibal of Carthige,(ancient name for Tunisia,,,AFRICA,,,)-The Italians,especially from the Mediterranean area ARE NOT CAUCASIAN-GREW UP IN SOUTH PHILLY.UNDER THE RIZZO ERA,I JUST HAD WELL HAVE BEEN IN MISSISSIPPI IN 1919.WHILE LA COSA NOSTRA FLOOD MAKES A LIVING IN CRIME AND FLOODING MINORITY NEIGHBORHOODS WITH POISON,SOME CARRY THE THOUGHT THAT THEY,ARE SUPREME HUMANS..."AWE'BUT AIN'T THAT AMERICA,HOME OF THE FREE"?---
Dont give up. History matters. Memories matter. Families matter. Those old buildings feel like a true home.
My Grandparents were born on Mulberry and my family lived on Mott street until 2003. I miss that place but I continue to go down and eat in the Italian restaurants. So many memories. It was the best place in the world to live.
The restaurants are owned by Albanian now, they suck
I have 2x great-grandparents who immigrated in 1888 and lived on Mulberry street, 81 Mulberry in 1900 according to the census. My great-grandfather was born in 1905 probably also on Mulberry.

The uniqueness of this culture and style should be preserved. It was the backbone of New York and anyone conscious would agree.
MINGA I'M HALF ITALAIN
I couldn’t agree more!! I’m napolitano and although I didn’t grow up on mulberry street, many of my family members did.
Tell that to a greedy real estate developer.

Sad to see italian shops disappearing. That's the soul of Manhattan. Sad stuff
It generally makes me sad Italian-American neighbourhoods in New York won’t be around much longer
I've been to Taylor St, Little Italy in Chicago for the Italian Festival and these people are school because bit doesn't matter how old your are or when ur family came over, these peoples heritage and traditions lives on through them. Its such a historical place.
It went downhill in the 90's when they started selling rice and beans at the San Gennaro festival.

That area was gone 20 years ago!

How Bout From Spring To Grand On Mulberry !!!!...
I saw this video because I like the film Donnie Brasco. I love Italian food. Especially lasagna.
I bet Little Italy's restaurants are delish. Authentic, unlike the Olive Garden lol. I like Mexican food first and my second is Italian.
I vecchai sono morti. Memories, yes the older people in town always were a strong force of traditions and would look out for you.
I'm pretty sure that was Alec Baldwin at 1:44 talking to those guys.
It is
Yes it is and I think Rudolph Giuliani in the brown jacket with his back to the camera
Yes, it was. Probably spewing some liberal garbage, or else threatening to punch someone in the face. Either one is typical of him.
Probably doing his thing for the Film Actor's Guild he is head of it after all 😉
Those were the days, nothing like it.
Emellio "Chang" Vittorio?

Sounds like it might end up like Greek town in Detroit just like one or two streets its just for like novelty

Yeah spot on ! From the Bronx italian and Irish , even if the Italians stayed, nobody keeps the old standards culture, nothing!! So it's sad
its natural people want to get out of inner city, crowd, pollution, crime, too much noise etc
Sicilians are darker skinned.
