are not dyker heights (brooklyn), howard beach (queens)and troggs neck (bronx) considered italian working class neighborhoods?
also there is a good amount of italians still also in bensonhurst, maspeth, middle village, ridgewood, bath beach and mirror park
I don't know about Throggs Neck but for Dyker I would say not as much as it used to be (always been a lot of Irish in Bay Ridge and Dyker though). And Howard Beach maybe... Those two neighborhoods are so far from Manhattan they may as well be a suburb.
My main point is that although there may still be older Italian people living in these neighborhoods, most of the new residents are not Italians.
The Top Mobsters are hiding in their homes..Very little action on the streets anymore. Same thing in Queens..A lot moved to L.I.,where they live a quiet life..
