Kevin McCollum
Broadway Producer, Irving Berlin's White Christmas
"Actors on Broadway have lives and families and they come in and knock it out of the park for a few hours, 8 times a week. They are like athletes. That’s why a show is dazzling experience." |

Like Little Italy’s street vendors who came in from the cold thanks to Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia 1940 opening of the new indoor market full of produce and Italian meats and cheeses, you and your family can get in from the cold for a bite to eat, a spot to sit, some delectable treats from gems like Mike’s Deli located in the market and even a cigar rolling demo at the cigar shop in front. Now you’re in the Real Little Italy!

Many hear of, but not enough find, their way to what some foodies call New York’s “real Little Italy.” It’s easier to find than you think, close by the Bronx Zoo, New York Botanical Gardens and Fordham’s Rose Hill campus. Take a stroll down streets decked in holiday tinsel, have a bite of some classic “red sauce” Italian and pick up some truly wonderful stocking stuffers and hostess gifts for the foodies on you list.
Tips:
Our favorite field researcher picks up dinner from the neighborhood’s butchers during a late lunch between sites. Pack a cold bag and you’ll be able to bring some Italian sausage home too. |
