Is Jimmy Brown a friend of mine or a friend of ours?

"Millenium" kids, 19/20 yrs old? Millennials are in their 30s and 40s 🤣🤣

What a fabulous interview , he's got the same charisma as Alec Baldwin. Thank you so much for saying it exactly as it is ...

I feel the same way Little Italy back in the day was a terrific place. It’s still mind-boggling to me when I see rents 6k / 7k on Elizabeth Street

All that's LEFT is the restaurants. The real Italians moved out DECADES ago. There's nothing very Italian about the area and there hasn't been for a really long time.

I just Love your Episode keep it coming please😍

Sad now it’s all yuppies and Chinese and everyone got priced out

He looks like beansie from the sopranos lol

I've only lived in NYC since the early 90s but even then you could see the turnover happening in realtime. The Giuliani and Bloomberg years ushered in the corporate takeover for developers, and it changed every neighborhood for better and for worse. NYC is a big melting pot of cultures and it's important to pay tribute to the old days, as it becomes less about cultures and more about brands

We still have some Italian Pork Stores open in Bklyn...but not so many

Amazing Content just subbed to the channel. Cheers m8

Thanks another great episode Happy New Year's

Paul, Fantastic series! I have watched from the start. I grew up in the 60's and 70's and remember going to all the festivals in Little Italy. A lot of history is being lost, but the city is also significantly cleaner and safer than when I was coming up. Times Square and the Port Authority were cesspools back then.

His commentary is the most poignant and bittersweet of all your interviewees in this docu- series.

Little Italy is now ran by Armenians

I grew up in Wooster Square, New Haven, CT, another Italian enclave. Same situation here. All our generation(s) can do; is try to hold on to what remains. Unfortunately, the younger generations were raised in suburbia without the benefit of living in a “village”. Their village is family, and even that dynamic is different. Nothing in life is static, we do our best; understand the circumstances.

Don't know why all New York Italian-Americans think that dropping the last vowel in a word is the way it's spoken. Dumbs down! Gabagool! Manigot! Mozz! Proscutt! So done with it! Gave these videos a chance till I couldn't!

I don't have the words. I grew up on E.6 btwn 1-2 Aves. Napolitan/Sicilian. I moved out a few years ago. I'm 70.

My family still lives on Elizabeth, since the late 1940s. The whole area really.

These are all great, but I get depressed watching them. I hate how Little Italy, NYC, the world is changing for the worse. All the character of neighborhoods like this is going to soon be a thing of the past.

Little Italy 🇮🇹 is the heart and backbone which built this country! We all need to talk to each other & preserve the past! Thanks for sharing the old ways ♥️

little Italy was but for Italians also Pacific and Sacrament St. was a big Italian neighborhood for one Our Lady of Loretta

I love this series.

Wonderful work Paul You hit on many points. Thanks for your splendid work put forth. 👏

I love these short films of yours! What a service you are doing before these places and people are lost. I’m very thankful for you!

Wow, I love this guy Charlie Brown. This is a real man of integrity...his points are 100% real and accurate!

My man here is spot on! Another great video here Paul, can't wait for the next episode

This is wonderful. My grandfather had a restaurant called Gallo's Little Italy in the 60s and I want to do a TH-cam series where I recreate the dishes from his restaurant. He died in 1969 so I never had the chance to meet him.

I Pay zero rent on Mott St the next block over..... oh yea, thats because I own the building. lol

A neighborhood guy. Would love to share my experiences growing up in little Italy in the late 1960’s

These are gems, thanks for producing content such as this.

I like his Italian money clip. A rubber band. A hundred dollar bill is the embellishment not the gold plated clip. Cash is king.

Really enjoying this series

The idea of a private social club is alluring. Bars are overcrowded and overpriced with hardly any real camaraderie

Totally agree concerning the heart and soul of the city. Thank you so much for your fine work, Paul, Happy New Year.

Truer words were never spoken---- Same goes for most big cities like here in Boston

🇮🇹🇺🇲💪

NY sucks big time. Little Italy is gone. I blame the politicians 100 percent. I’m a proud Italian and I feel betrayed

Un saluto ai miei fratelli italo americani 🇺🇲🇮🇹💪 grande il Signore Rossi l'ultima attività più autentica di Little italy gestita da un vero italo americano del vecchio quartiere

I grew up in crown heights when I was a child we had a community people knew each other but now it's totally different all my friends are either passed away or moved away... that's the hard part of moving forward in life but I will always have good memories 😊

Italians scared of Blacks

Divide and conquer is the plan.

Good film thanks

He gave the bigoted “hishtory” of “Talyans from lil Ittley.” And you ain’t gona shee dat no more.

My mother would send me on a regular basis to the store in the late 1960s and into the early 1980s. I seem to recall that it was on the other side of Mott St., right across the way from the current location and it was much smaller. I remember Lou, his parents, siblings and other family members well. His mother always had a smile on hear face. When I moved away, in 1991 for a number of years, as I returned to NYC to visit my parents, a visit to Di Palo's was mandatory as we would stock up on cheeses and other items before returning home.

forget about it nobody can afford to live there anymore except bankers and entertainers. Unless you had the place for decades

It-lee It-lee It-lee ...act as if you have a litlle education..It-a-lee

They all thought that voting democrat was going to protect their culture and neighborhoods. When will they learn that it was all a scam to take control. Every democrat run city gets destroyed from within, and taxes consistently get higher while the leadership get rich.

I wish everything could go back to the old days. These days suck...there's nothing fun or exciting anymore and no more mystery to anything.

If it makes you feel better, nobody sticks together no matter where they grew up anymore
