Arthur Avenur, Bronx’s “Little Italy”
An “oasis” in the Bronx.
A taste of Europe/Italy in the Bronx.
Arthur Avenue in Belmont is known as the "truest LIttle Italy" in New York. It is more authentic than the one on Mulberry Street in Manhattan. If Belmont sounds familiar to you, it is because the this old Italian neighborhood has been featured in the 1993 hit movie " A Bronx Tale." Today only about 6% of the residents that live here are Italian, (it is now a majority Latino neighborhood.) Many Italians have moved out to other parts of the city and other parts of the Tri State area. However, Italian delis, bakeries, butcher shops, and restaurants remain There is even an Italian food market called the Arthur Avenue Retail Market.

It was such a humble home but man it was so jumping, Latins know how to best out of poverty- you live in poverty and you still know how the scenery jumping and popping.
