The real little italy is in the bronx

Walk Arthur Avenue and learn its history and stories as you go, meeting the shopkeepers who keep its traditions going: bakeries that only make bread, butcher shops where everything is custom cut, a shop devoted to only pasta, and delis that make fresh mozzarella throughout the day so that it is always warm and fresh. We will taste along the way, stop at the church to light a candle, explore the last historic food market in New York City still open, and finish with a sit-down lunch, together at the table.

 

These traditions are hard to find now, even in Rome, Florence, and Naples. On Arthur Avenue, miraculously, they persist.
