New to the board..had to comment on the last italian neighborhoods..one poster mentioned this area earlier, but I believe the middle village-glendale-ridgewood corridor gets overlooked. Obviously, the area is changing but this is one of the few areas where you could go an entire day without speaking english. Still plenty of Italian bakeries shops, cafes, etc.. there was a last strong wave of Italian immigrants who settled around Bushwick in the 60s up to the 80s and alot of them are still around. They just had a feast on fresh pond and you could still hear alot of Italian. .
