Little Italy NYC is just a few blocks, with tons of outdoor restaurants and owners promising free wine and sangria to lure you in. Puglia is a favorite restaurant for families with their live singing and kids standing on their chairs waving napkins. Visit the new Italian American Museum, which tells the story “from Columbus to Cuomo,” the original Old St. Patrick’s Church and NYC Police Headquarters. For another NYC Italian experience, many consider Arthur Avenue in the Bronx a more authentic Little Italy these days.
