What was Little italy like pre 90s.....?

According to some articles, there were very few tourists and lots more social clubs, and everybody knew everybody etc.....

Anybody here been to the san gennaro festival? How does it compare to back in the 70s and 80s.

As a unknown face, would you have felt safe going for a late night drink in say mulberry st.

Very trendy place to live nowadays, i would guess an apartment there would cost a fortune.
