NYC's Little Italy

Here in the heart of New York City lies a quaint reproduction of a traditional Italian village aptly named “Little Italy”. Aside from a slew of shopping, sights and festivals, it also plays host to some of the most fantastic restaurants in the United States. Amici II (165 Mulberry St. b/w Broome & Grand Sts.), a warm family style Italian eatery, specializes in lobster and allows its patrons to choose their meal from a tank of live crustaceans. The acclaimed Il Palazzo (151 Mulberry St. b/w Hester & Grand Sts.), combines both casual and elegant dining in a cozy setting that features outdoor dining and inimitable dishes like “Tre Palladini”, a tantalizing plate of filet mignon medallions bathed in a mushroom sauce. Another celebrity studded restaurant The Original Vincent’s (119 Mott Street) is home to a world famous sauce and 100 years of traditional Italian cooking. New hip restaurant and Little Italy’s latest treasure Da Nico (164 Mulberry St. b/w Grand & Broome Sts.) is commended for it’s fried calamari and innovative take on Italian while Cha Cha’s In Boca Al Lupo (113 Mulberry St. b/w Canal & Hester Sts.) serves up some of the tastiest deli sandwiches in the city. And of course no tourist can leave The Big Apple without trying our exclusive New York style pizza which happens to be a Lombardi specialty (32 Spring St, b/w Mulberry & Mott Sts.). Known as the first licensed pizzeria in New York, Lombardi continues to please pizza fanatics as it has been doing since 1905. For sweet treats visit La Bella Ferrara Pasticceria (108 Mulberry St. b/w Canal and Hester Sts.) famous for its Cannoli, mouth watering Tiramisu and Lobster Tails (a flaky pastry stuffed with Bavarian cream and dusted with powdered sugar).
