An Enclave of 100 year old Italian shops
Since the 1970s, Italians moved away from Arthur Avenue — but they always come back for food shopping. The butchers, bakers, and fishmongers here still do things the old-school way, the same way they did when our family opened their shop on this street in 1918. Our tours are your initiation into this New York City ritual. You'll taste fresh-filled cannoli, just-baked bread, and hand-pulled mozzarella, and hear the stories behind every bite from guides who know this neighborhood from the inside out.

"We walked through all the stores, and it was this giant, happy sensory overload. Every business had such a sense of history, and every item had a personality."
Jenny Kroik, The New Yorker
