As nei mentioned already, New England and New York have notable Wiseguy presences.

Before I joined CD I never knew Rhode Island had such an Italian presence which is funny because it's #1. I knew about CT and MA but not RI.

I've heard "Maryland Shore" will be a spinoff of Jersey Shore. The two states are culturally identical so I'm sure no one will know the difference.

This is something you're likely to see in New York and New England. Ain't gonna see it in DC/Maryland.

Court Street and Avenue U as signs of Italian American existence in Brooklyn?

Here is Avenue U on Google maps for anybody wondering, with all those Italian stores written in... Mandarin

https://www.google.com/maps/@40.5991...zs7WfwMKww!2e0

^There is probably 1000 Chinese and Russians for every 1 Italian grandma...Avenue U has been Chinese for at least 20 years now, if not more... It is the second largest Chinatown in Brooklyn:

Carroll Gardens still has a lot of Italian businesses even if it's heavily yuppified nowadays.

Are you serious? Census tracts? In those 3 census tracts combined, you get a total of 1,000-2,000 Italian Americans at best, in an area spanning good 200,000-300,000 people... Good job. That's like finding black people in Boulder... Not to mention your site uses census data that is old by now.

I can play this silly game too if you want, check out any census tract along the subway stations, or along portions of Avenue U that actually has stores in that neighborhood...Here:
