Little Italy 🇮🇹 is the heart and backbone which built this country! We all need to talk to each other & preserve the past! Thanks for sharing the old ways ♥️
Paul, Fantastic series! I have watched from the start. I grew up in the 60's and 70's and remember going to all the festivals in Little Italy. A lot of history is being lost, but the city is also significantly cleaner and safer than when I was coming up. Times Square and the Port Authority were cesspools back then.
This is wonderful. My grandfather had a restaurant called Gallo's Little Italy in the 60s and I want to do a UA-cam series where I recreate the dishes from his restaurant. He died in 1969 so I never had the chance to meet him.
I was fortunate to have both my grandfathers. However, my great grandfather passed on a few years before I was born. I’ve always regretted not having the opportunity to know him.
I grew up in Wooster Square, New Haven, CT, another Italian enclave. Same situation here. All our generation(s) can do; is try to hold on to what remains. Unfortunately, the younger generations were raised in suburbia without the benefit of living in a “village”. Their village is family, and even that dynamic is different. Nothing in life is static, we do our best; understand the circumstances.
@PaulStoneFilms Atlantic City. After my wife died, I sold out my rent controlled apartment to developers. I'm a retired Fire Safety Director and hotel auditor. Thanks for asking, love your videos although sometimes they make me sad, but that's life. Maybe you know my friend Alex at 141 Mulberry.
These are all great, but I get depressed watching them. I hate how Little Italy, NYC, the world is changing for the worse. All the character of neighborhoods like this is going to soon be a thing of the past.
Wonderful work Paul
You hit on many points.
Thanks for your splendid
work put forth. 👏
Thank you! Happy New Year!

My family still lives on Elizabeth, since the late 1940s. The whole area really.

@@Gino20202 At least we were lucky to experience it!
His commentary is the most poignant and bittersweet of all your interviewees in this docu- series.
Sad now it’s all yuppies and Chinese and everyone got priced out
