Dave Greco on the Best of the Bronx’s Italian-American Neighborhood
25 11th Ave, New York, NY 10011, USA
While many tourists flock to Little Italy in Manhattan, insiders know that the true “Little Italy” in New York City can be found in the Bronx, on Arthur Avenue. There you can discover, family-run shops that have existed for a century; second, third, and fourth generation shopkeepers; and, of course, artisan-made Italian delicacies and authentic mozzarella.
During this demonstration and dining experience, Dave Greco—second-generation owner of the beloved Mike's Deli—will showcase proper mozzarella making, feed you with antipasti and cheesecake, and share stories and the significance of his family’s deli and beloved institutions in this historic neighborhood.
