Little Italy Historic Walking Tour

What you'll do:

If you love New York City history or just want to take a deep dive into one of Manhattan’s most storied neighborhoods, you shouldn’t miss this guided tour of Little Italy. You’ll leave with a warm sense of nostalgia, as you walk the very lanes and avenues where so many American dreams were born.

This tour begins at the Chinatown Little Italy Information Kiosk on the corner of Baxter and Canal streets and will encompass the entire northern portion of Historic Little Italy all the way up to Houston Street and back. Learn about the very first American Catholic Church built specifically for the Italian American community, pay tribute to the haunts of the very first Italian American Police Sargeant Joseph Petrosino.
