What you'll do

Discover the stories behind one of New York City’s most famous neighbourhoods on this guided walk through Little Italy. Led by a knowledgeable local guide, you’ll explore the streets that inspired Martin Scorsese, uncover the area’s turbulent history, and hear gripping tales of crime, community, and culture.

You’ll visit key landmarks including St. Patrick’s Old Cathedral, a 200-year-old icon with serious Hollywood credentials – scenes from The Godfather films and Mean Streets were shot right here. The cathedral’s walled cemetery adds another layer of intrigue, with stories that blur the line between real-life history and movie legend.

As you stroll past classic Italian eateries and long-standing local businesses, you’ll also learn about Joseph Petrosino, a trailblazing NYPD sergeant whose fight against organised crime ultimately cost him his life. It’s a captivating way to experience Little Italy beyond the cannoli – through the people, stories, and streets that shaped it.
