Introduction
Arthur Avenue in the Belmont neighborhood of the Bronx is the heart of New York's most authentic Italian-American community, hailed as NYC's true Little Italy, far more genuine than Manhattan's Little Italy. The street rose in the late 19th and early 20th centuries with a large Southern Italian immigrant community and remains the cultural and culinary center of NYC's Italian-American community. Dozens of family-run Italian shops line the street: fresh pasta shops, cheese stores, butchers, bakeries, cafes, and restaurants, with the scent of fresh pasta, baked bread, and espresso in the air. Famous spots include Mike's Deli, Teitel Brothers, and Roberto's. The second Saturday of each month brings the Arthur Avenue Market, when the street becomes an open-air market with Italian food, crafts, and live music.
