New York The Little Italies Tour

Begin your tour at PizzArte, an authentic Italian restaurant and café in Midtown Manhattan. Continue to Columbus Circle, dedicated to Christopher Columbus, the Italian explorer whose legacy inspired one of the most important celebrations of the Italian-American community in the U.S. Next, take the subway to Arthur Avenue, the Bronx’s Little Italy — the neighborhood that inspired Robert De Niro and Chazz Palminteri’s A Bronx Tale. Here, Italian families who emigrated in the 1950s and 1960s still live and preserve their traditions. Meet local figures, hear authentic stories, and stroll among historic bakeries, delis, and family-run shops, with free time to enjoy traditional food (optional and not included). Return to Manhattan for a stop in Greenwich Village, where you’ll visit a church tied to the Italian community and a historic café that served New York’s first cappuccino in 1927. End the tour in Little Italy with stories of Mafia legends, classic films, and Italian immigrant dreams
