Little Italy Apartments for Rent

First started by Italian immigrants in the late 1800s, Italian heritage, culture and old world charm persist in this tiny lower Manhattan neighborhood to this day. Once home to thousands of Italians and Italian-Americans, the neighborhood has since shrunk to a tiny stretch of mostly tourist-friendly restaurants and souvenir shops. Still, the three-block stretch of Mulberry that makes up Little Italy’s main jaunt is packed with European-style sidewalk dining, world famous cheese shops, cannoli and espresso. The neighborhood also boasts an Italian American museum, the historic Caffe Roma (in business since 1891) and proximity to nearby hotspots like Soho, Nolita, Chinatown and Bowery.
