Description
Little Italy at dawn. Little Italy is a neighborhood in lower Manhattan, New York City, once known for its large population of Italians.[1] Today the neighborhood of Little Italy consists of Italian stores and restaurants. Historically, Little Italy on Mulberry Street, extends as far south as Canal Street, as far north as Bleecker, as far west as Lafayette and as far east as the Bowery. It borders Chinatown at Bowery. The Feast of San Gennaro originally was once only a one-day religious commemoration. It began in September, 1926 with the new arrival of immigrants from Naples. The Italian immigrants congregated along Mulberry Street in Manhattan's Little Italy to celebrate San Gennaro as the Patron Saint of Naples. The Feast of San Gennaro is a large street fair, lasting 11 days, that takes place every September along Mulberry Street between Houston and Canal Streets.[3] The festival is as an annual celebration of Italian culture and the Italian-American community.
