I feel, unfortunately, Little Italy in the Bronx will one day disappear or at least reduce itself dramatically over the years.
It's such a shame, Italians worked hard and brought their great culture with them.
I noticed even a lot of Puerto Ricans in the Bronx are leaving too.
Now, the Dominicans, Mexicans, Albanians, and others will replace them, which is good.
I have some photos attached.
I went to one of the restaurants, it was expensive but I know one day eating Italian food on Arthur Avenue might be a thing of the past, 100 years from now if not sooner. That's why I went yesterday.
The food, though, was good.
Seems like a place you also want to go after a Yankees game, since Yankees Stadium is located in the borough.
I kind of see Italian culture in the Bronx (and other Italian communities often located in urban communities where they retain their culture) as similar to seeing the Amish in Pennsylvania or the Chicanos on the West Coast,
a different culture than my own that is worth seeing.
Yeah but I saw people in Yankees gear at the restaurant I ate at.
So I guess they still come.
People wear Yankees gear in the Bronx to walk to the bodega or get a slice of pizza.
There's plenty of people in the Bronx who wear Yankees gear who have never set foot in Yankee Stadium, and some who might not even be Yankees or baseball fans.
It's possible that some of those people you saw were coming from the stadium, but like the post above stated, due to Arthur Ave's proximity to the stadium, I highly doubt it.
Nice to see the photos, haven't been there since the pandemic started, one of the restaurant owners died of covid. I miss eating pastries for breakfast at Artuso's, buying their delicious cakes, going to church at Mt. Carmel, and walking around that neighborhood.

Ha! One day? Most of the store owners of the "Italian" restaurants are Albanians, and that started years ago. You still have some Italian owners left, but fewer each year.

I wonder if Mario’s, the place I went to yesterday, is owned by an Italian or an Albanian, could be a PR for that matter but the chicken was so delicious.
Arthur Ave is about as Italian as Little Italy in the city.
