Little Italy
 
Map of Neighborhood Local Schools
Historically newcomers from Italy have settled in neighborhoods populated by immigrants from their home village, if not their home street. The community in Little Italy was considered the heart of the city’s Italian cultural life. Boarded on the south by Chinatown and on the north by kicky NoLIta, aptly named meaning NOrth of Little ITAly. NoLIta, the skinny triangle bounded by Lafayette and the Bowery, was once the ne plus ultra of residential zones. The houses erected here in the 1830s and 1840s glowed with wealth newly stimulated by the end of the War of 1812. The neighborhood includes St Patrick’s Old cathedral, which opened in 1815 and served as New York City’s Roman Catholic Church until the new St. Patrick Cathedral open on Fifth Ave in 1879. The Puck Building, another neighborhood landmark, an ornate landmark built in 1885, originally housed the headquarters of the now-defunct Puck Magazine
