I grew up in New York City, where there were Little Italys everywhere. Not just the famous one in downtown Manhattan, between Chinatown and the Village, but in the Bronx (Arthur Avenue), Brooklyn (Bensonhurst) and pretty much the whole borough of Staten Island.
I moved to San Francisco, where there’s a thriving Little Italy in North Beach (also next to Chinatown). And then, to Los Angeles, where there used to be a Little Italy on the east side of Dodger Stadium. But these days, all that remains of it is the venerable San Antonio Winery.
