Belmont, The Bronx - Arthur Avenue
Bronx resident, Historian, and Food Aficionado, Susan Birnbaum, takes you to some of her most cherished spots along Arthur Ave in the Belmont section of the Bronx - New York's "real" Little Italy. Taste the best, authentic Italian treats available anywhere in New York. See thin ribbons of fresh pasta and warm, fresh mozzarella being made before your eyes. Susan even knows a man who’s been hand-rolling cigars for decades. Munch on cheese, sweet cannolis, and many more delicious tastings!
Arthur Avenue in the Bronx, named after former U.S. President Chester A. Arthur. This area of the Bronx serves as the epicenter of both the historical and commercial districts of Little Italy. Arthur Avenue has also been the scene of several movies, such as Al Pacino's directing debut in The Bronx Tale, all the way to Lady Gaga filming a music video here. This area is famous for its old-world artisans plying their craft, whether they are making cheese, or curing any one of the different meats Italy is famous for. Arthur Avenue has lots of personalities and something for everyone.
