Tour of NYC's "Real Little Italy" in the Bronx

[@barbarawillis5187]

I love how the Italian businesses are still thriving in the Bronx's Little Italy. Thank you for including the history of the family businesses and the interviews were fun to watch.

[@2075vj]

I use to live there 15 years ago. Now I’m In the suburbs right outside of Philly.For sharing this. I try to visit New York a couple times a year. But this is a great experience

[@JulianSteve]

YESSSSSSS, you finally visit The Bronx again‼️I like how you talked to a bunch of small business owners in the area. They need all of the promotion they could get during these times🤘🏾💯

[@somebonehead]

Bro how do I see you for the first time in Foreign's latest premiere and already catch a comment of yours

[@JulianSteve]

@@somebonehead Wow, it’s the universe. YESSSSSSS, you watch Tom’s videos too😭🙌🏾‼️

[@Slowjo1221]

That little rendition of the song from the 50’s made me giggle! This channel is such a gem

[@thelairdknows2389]

The best kind of tour guide- handsome and funny! You can live in NYC for your whole life and not see these neighborhoods. Thanks, Tom!

[@ambivertical]

Dude your humor is Why I watch these videos of you. Loved the awkwardness of saying youre a tour guide and then the phone rang. So funny bro. Keep it uppp!!

[@Maxtheyellowlabrador]

omg as the kids would say hes back Tom your the best tour guide ever

Born there in 1939 Beaumont Ave & 187th street. Basically a little diagonal from Artuso Bakery lived there 22years until I married, go back Bout once a month to Arthur Ave to shop, touch base with a few old friends , It certainly has changed in the past 60 years ,but no matter when I walk the streets even though most of my friends and Family have past away their spirit is always there.

[@mrsK1710]

Not long home from work in a very snowy Scotland, delighted to see a new vid and of this area even better 🙂🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@avyaalogrin1254]

Love Scotland AND NY! I’m glad I got to walk down Arthur Avenue and one of my visits back to New York City where I grew up.

[@rudyfidelino3995]

I learn a ton from your videos. Wow, you really do your homework!

[@darlagts]

Magnífico vídeo, Tom. La verdad eres un guía extaordinario, no sé como haces para recordar tantísimos detalles.

[@mph85032]

No Phil? He was missed - and he probably has never been this part of NYC! Great tour, Tom! Thanks

[@clairecardillo2511]

Great job Tom - my old 'nabe' - a lot has changed, but memories are in my heart and as the saying goes ' You can take the girl out of The Bronx, but you can't take The Bronx out of the girl' - so proud to call 'Little Italy' my real home!

[@D.N..]

Your tours are always top notch!! Also... Thanks for highlighting local businesses ! 🐻🤗🌺🌸❤️⛄

[@plazaro100]

Thank you Tom, you are the best!

[@jameshawkins8654]

Awesome stuff man. This video says it's a year old and I'm still going thru these. I've neaver been to New York but been a little interested since my son went and loved it. Glad I made it to your show. Hopefully your still doing these.

[@RicardoElCorrazonDeLeon]

I am so glad you included Mario's Restaurant, one of my favorites since I was in undergraduate school across the street at Fordham University 40 some years ago. I now live across the country, but return to my favorite neighborhood in the Bronx regularly and always include a mass at Mount Carmel and the Arthur Avenue Market followed by a meal at Mario's.

[@amyt2400]

@Bromo Big Mario’s fan too. It’s still around but the patriarch of the family passed away due to Covid-19. The daughter runs it now. Hope you will soon have the opportunity to visit there again. Go, Mario’s! 🏆

[@benwith1n528]

Great job Tom and Lucie! I definitely want to go there and just eat all day.

[@almeggs3247]

Thanks for showing the inside of Mt Carmel. I’ve always wondered why so many famous people came from the Bronx and Now I know!

[@giuseppegnazzo3154]

I'm excited for this one 👍Tomdnyc is Numero 1.

[@DylanGirl1963]

Tom, watched your video last night and got the biggest kick out of it. I was born and raised in Belmont/Bronx, and they were the best years of my life. I LOVED that neighborhood in the 50s/early 60s ~ as far as we kids were concerned, there was no better place to grow up. AND we had the Bronx Zoo and Botanical Garden as our very own back yard. I wrote a book about it (it's still available on Amazon) and opened it with "Love Letter to a Neighborhood." (Belmont/Arthur Avenue: Little Italy in the Bronx.) Straight from the center of my heart. So, thank you for your wonderful tour ~ so glad you got Gil Teitel in there, he's a great guy! I only wish you could have seen it in the 1950s...99% Italian, with hilarious people on every block. Centanno! (Thanks to Lucy too!)

[@RicardoElCorrazonDeLeon]

Even when I studied at Fordham in the late 70's it was still at least 98% Italian - heavy on the Neapolitan.

[@mlryap6345]

Thanks for the awesome tour Tom! and to Lucie, too!

[@cjc2]

Great video. As a life long New Yorker, it’s great that I get to watch these videos and learn something new about my city. You have a wealth of knowledge, thank you for sharing.

[@auroman302]

I am glad the Bronx is getting any attention here! Seems like Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens get all the love. There is a lot of history of the Bronx that has never been covered on this channel, but would love to see. Some old Bronx Historical Society tours are all that are up. The rest are pretty non-professional.

[@intallpines]

You were so funny at Mario's. Loved the tour!

[@billbartoli9766]

My old neighborhood. Grew up on 2300 block of Crotona ave. Shopped at many of those stores with my Mom. My father owned a butcher shop on 187th street!

[@davidbailey6563]

It's amazing to me. To know about Wall Street or The Empire State Building is one thing - to know about the history of a family bakery on a tiny part of the Bronx is off the scale. How the hell do you remember all this stuff?

[@DylanGirl1963]

I was born and raised there. So every single thing Tom mentioned in this tour is well remembered by me, and most of us who grew up there.

[@BigDaddyB420Wine]

Research the websites of people who have been doing these tours for a decade?

[@vitosanto3874]

It’s easy to remember something that you lived . It was a ritual on a Sunday morning after attending mass at Our Lady Of My. Carmel Church two blocks away to stop in Artuso Bakery to get pastry for after Sunday Dinner. Their Conoli were the best. Still are.

[@willardmusick1187]

Visiting 30 days to explore the NYC this April. This is perfect to study further before I leave, and to re-watch just before I head out. I too am a walking addict. One learns much more about things on foot. Thank you.

[@2075vj]

Thanks this where I grow up. Thanks for taking me back! When I was a pharmaceutical rep 15 years ago I will always make sure I took my business to my favorite Italian restaurants in the area like Mario’s. Just love itThat’s funny I didn’t know you were going to mention Marino’s .yes!

[@darinaivanova5376]

It"s nice to walk through NY city like that. Thank you for the history and nice stories about the city. It's very amusing for the foreigners to have a tour like this.

Your videos show the history of NY. demystifies the neighborhoods and turns out to be an alternative or a complement to the very touristy manhattan. Greetings from Portugal🇵🇹

[@DuShaneTony]

Great tour, thank you. My grandparents are Calabrian, but they ended up in San Francisco....and then ended up in the Italian Cemetery just south fo San Francisco. Next time I'm in NYC, I'm staying in this part of the Bronx for a bit.

Thanks for coming to my neighborhood I’ve been here since the summer of 98 I remember the old days from before my people took over back then things where different the stores where different but as kids we were often told to not venture into the main Arthur ave I still remember how it really was

Hi Tom Always glad to see u. Do more cuz u r great to tour so much info👍

[@soho1080]

Niiice video.. Loved the Belmont Tour.. So insightful!

[@fasteddie9055]

Much of the movie BRONX TALE was actually filmed in the Ditmars area of Astoria, Queens, NY. A lot of the original Italian Bronx either no longer exits or is populated by other nationalities. My favorite Italian sports figure is the outfielder slugger Rocky Colavito. I understand that he lived in the Belmont area of the Bronx during the 30s, 40s, and the early part of the 50s. He was very popular in Cleveland and Detroit back in the day. Rocky is having a hard time to qualify for the Hall of Fame. Maybe you can help him , Tom. There is a Rocky Colavito Fan Club on line.
