A beloved figure in Little Italy in Manhattan has been honored in a special way. The corner of Mulberry and Grand Streets, where Vincent "Vinny Peanuts" Sabatino once sold his famous treats, has been officially co-named “Vincent ‘Vinny Peanuts’ Sabatino Corner.”
The street naming was unveiled to the tune of one of Vinny’s favorite songs, marking a fitting tribute to the man who owned and operated Vinny’s Nut House. “He would sell nougat candy, Italian cookies, and a lot of different varieties of nuts—that’s why they call him Vinny Peanuts. He met so many people from around the world,” said Beatrice Fratta, Vinny's sister.
