Little Italy
Category

Little Italy

Piazzas, pastas, and lots of wine, of course. This thriving business district is still very much a tight knit neighborhood, with a mix of charming homes and chic apartment buildings. Little Italy has an abundance of cute cafes and stylish restaurants, along with a wildly popular Saturday Farmer’s Market.
