I visited Little Italy for the first time 20 years ago and it was already being described as "shrunken" from the old days. Btw, Italians didn't "leave" Little Italy. They got "soft" abandoned it for pretentious suburban comfort in Long Island, Staten Island, and Jersey.

According to my criminologist lecturer who has alot of experience in this field, he says the government and media make out like the mafia is more powerful than they seem whereas his expert opinion is that all the ATTENTION has been focused on Italian American mafia (for political reasons) therefore other ethnic groups are largely unnoticed in terms of crime... BUT doesn't mean they're not just as powerful or even more powerful!

I got two free meals and everything I wanted. On the way out of Little Italy the man asks "Are you Happy"? I say Yeah. He then says "IF YOU ARE HAPPY I AM HAPPY"...Only on Mulberry Street.

We were going to go on April 7th to celebrate but we had to change it to April 6th. They say timing is everything and I guess they are right!
