Italian American neighborhoods or areas with a noticeable presence of Italian Americans in New York City, New Jersey, and Philadelphia. Italians are the largest ethnicity in my home state, New Jersey and one of the largest in the NYC metro area, as well as Philadelphia. I felt Italians were the best culture in the world. That’s why I did this blog. Migration pattern When many of the first Italian immigrants arrived in New York City, they settled in Little Italy and the Lower East Side. They also settled in East Harlem. They ended up moving to the Bronx, with many of them living in the Belmont area, and in Brooklyn. In fact many of the Italians who used to live in Manhattan’s Little Italy later moved to Bensonhurst, But they Brooklyn. The Italian community has dispersed beyond Manhattan and even New York City. Most Brooklyn Italians would migrate to Staten Island however some migrated to New Jersey and Long Island. In fact, some Italian immigrants from New York City moved to Newark.
