dyker heights has a proper amount of italians still

but in order to get to experience a majority of them (not just few pockets) you got to move out of the city to the nearby counties

and staten island but that's a given


@ PB

tuscans aren't considered northerns, more like central italians
by those who still care for these sort of things obviously…since the 50s, with the mass immigration south > north, it's as easy to run into someone with a southern last name up there as in the mezzogiorno.

and be careful with the french/northern italian jokes always, but especially around italians during the world cup!


@ TonyG

interesting that you typed few new immigrants…you meant italians?
New ones?
you don't say...
