Little Italy

Little Italy

Little Italy is a place in Lower Manhattan, New York. It is located next to Chinatown. Little Italy was once a lot bigger, about 50 blocks, but it has shrank into the size of only three blocks. Little Italy is known for its green, white and red colours and good Italian food that you can smell from afar.

               Nowadays, Little Italy is in danger of extinction because the rents of buildings are being raised by new landlords which forces the former Italians to move out and close different places, for example restaurants.

               We didn't spend much time in Little Italy, but while we were on the sightseeing tour we had a chance to eat at a restaurant in Little Italy. Also you could see the streets decorated in the colours of the Italian flag. Unfortunately, you could see how small Little Italy is and how hard it struggles to stay alive. However, it was a fun experience!
