Bronx’s Little Italy neighborhood is one of the most interesting places in New York City. The area was first settled by Italian immigrants in the early 20th century and has been a hub for Italian culture ever since. Today, it’s home to several businesses that have been operating for generations—and some newer businesses that are also worth visiting. This tour will lead attendees along Arthur Avenue, home to Doo-Wop music, authentic Italian restaurants, delis and shops, and one of HDC’s past Six to Celebrate recipients.
The tour will be led by Alexandra Maruri, a Bronx native and founder of Bronx Historical Tours, an organization that supports minority-owned business and cultural heritage by offering walking tours.
