  • At the turn of the 20th Century, a wave of Italian immigrants began moving to what is now known as “The Little Italy of the Bronx.” Arthur Avenue is the main thoroughfare, followed by East 187th Street. Most of the Italian restaurants and specialty shops are located within the triangle formed by Arthur Avenue, East 187th Street, and Crescent Ave. Everything is within walking distance. In fact, most of the restaurants buy from the local specialty shops. The majority of businesses in the area are considered local institutions. Although a couple new restaurants have opened along Arthur Avenue in the 21st century, most have been in the same families for generations.

    Wonderful tour of the Bronx Little Italy and informative, too. Ah, the days when there would have been a social club on every block. I'm sure there is still a "presence" but not like the days when Chazz was growing up. If nothing else the neighborhoods were safer for their presence. Thanks Brian :o)

    Sad, Italian neighborhood's have become a novelty. The fall was self inflicted. Italian people got greedy and started hiring as cheap of help they could get, the quest to make more with less overhead caused illegals to take advantage of this. Walk into almost any Italian restaurant now and you have Mexicans making your food, walk into any Italian neighborhood and you have Mexicans renting in mass numbers. Italians sold out for the almighty dollar. And Calabria is not in Sicily.
