First of all, there aren't any Italian neighborhoods left in Manhattan. The only ethnic neighborhood left in Manhattan is Washington Heights, which is Dominican.

Second of all, the wiseguys pulled out of Little Italy and East Harlem as far back as the '90s.

Third of all, the crime rate in Manhattan is at a hundred year low.

But thanks for posting.


Wow to me (Gotti's territory) Ozone Park looked terrible I wouldn't want my Nonna walkin around there.

The only neighborhood I thought resembled the Italian neighborhood I've been to years ago was Arthur Ave in the Bronx. Little Italy NYC seemed to be filled with young ppl, but in the Bronx I got to see the old men hanging outside the market talking in Italian to the clam guy. That made me happy.
