my grandparents came to the hill right from Italy I myself was born and raised on the hill was a wonderful place to grow up back then it was all Italian everybody new each other we were one big happy family

My grandmother took me The Hill to buy veggies and meats from the pushcarts. We were not rich but we feasted. The specialty shops were fantastic, and great old-timers that can't be replaced.

Indeed, yes. But the place is no longer like that. I posted a comment lamenting this fact.

Best Italian food on the East Coast and Northern America!🇮🇹

[@geralddeluca4322]

While there are plenty of good restaurants here and specialty food shops, I challenge you to try to find a store that sells fresh fruits and vegetables! Italians love fresh locally grown tomatoes in the summer, but NOBODY sells fresh tomatoes or other vegetables here on Federal Hill. You CAN find them at farmers' markets, like the weekly one at Cranston Street Armory or Urban Greens Co-op on the same street. But those are not on Federal Hill. I remember with great nostalgia the pushcarts on Balboa (De Pasquale) Avenue when I was a kid. What was there back then would put what is there now to shame.

It's so commercial, now.

Im 52 and when i was a kid, the mob ran it. Me and my friends would get a ride to Kennedy plaza, walk to the bars, get drunk, eat some hot dogs in the trailer that was downtown. walk home and have to walk through federal hill to get home in providence. Sometimes we would just get them at olneyville new york system. That was the best. That guy would line up about 10 weiners on his forearm and bring them to us
