Today the section of Mulberry Street between Broome and Canal Streets in NYC is all that is left of the old Italian neighborhood, known as Little Italy. While many of the Italians that once lived here are long gone, the area still attracts tourists, eager to grab a piece of authentic Italian food and culture. The street is lined with about two dozen Italian restaurants, which are popular with tourists.
This is a photo of Mulberry Street in Little Italy in the 1900s. Little Italy then was known for its large population of Italians. Now much of it has been engulfed by Chinatown as a large number of immigrants from China moved to Little Italy.
