Little Italy

LOCATION

Downtown Manhattan. Little Italy is an ever-shrinking neighborhood flanked by Center Street to the west, by Bowery to the east, by Kenmare to the north and by Canal to the south. (To be honest, even this limiting definition is optimistic - one only needs to step one block east of Mulberry to witness the lively atmosphere ... of Chinatown. )

POPULATION AND DEMOGRAPHICS

It's hard to describe the locals simply because you will have a hard time finding them here. Theoretically, something like 10,000 live in Little Italy, but the neighborhood is simply overrun by tourists.

SAFETY

Long gone are the days of gangland shootings, but supposedly, the Mafia still has an influence here. As far as common street crime is concerned, Little Italy is safe, but as always the case with touristy neighborhoods, you need to keep an eye on your purse.
