Thinking about Little Italy in New York City
My recent trip to New York included a truly wonderful trip downtown to Chinatown and Little Italy, which is right there alongside of it, although smaller than it used to be. There are sidewalk cafes everywhere and the best place to go for pastry and sweets is Ferrara’s. Here is a street scene, and the outside of Ferrara’s where they serve yummy gelato (Italian ice cream) and my favorite, the pastry display. This is only a small section of what they have! If you go, try the Baba au Rhum. A plain looking but completely fabulous experience, but not for teetotalers.
Happy Pink Saturday and Welcome!
I enjoyed your wonderful pictures…..and now I am hungry! lol!
Jil
wonderful photos!
I have spent many a caloric filled afternoon in Little Italy! Now that I live in New Haven, I’m only ONE BLOCK from New Haven’t Little Italy – which also has luscious pastries, gelato … and over the street lights!
HaPpY PiNk SaTuRdAy!
Thank you for the pictures, which evoke memories of my own visits there! 🙂
Have you ever been to the other Little Italy in the Bronx?
I highly recommend it, all along Arthur Avenue, near Fordham University departs a bus that takes you right there. To me the most authentic Italian market and shops in all of NY.
