“That’s the one thing I regret in my life more than anythin’ else, that my grammar is lousy... And I talk with a New York accent.”
— Charles ‘Lucky’ Luciano
For more than 100 years, waves of Italians emigrated from their homeland to capitalise on their own version of the American dream. New York’s Italian Americans settled into an area of Lower Manhattan that became known as NoLIta. The city’s Little Italy became a densely packed, lively neighborhood creating a haven for family, tradition, community and, celebration populated by thousands of new immigrants in dilapidated old tenements.
By the early 1920s, nearly 10,000 Italians lived in the neighbourhood where many of the local residents controlled New York’s bootlegging rackets to supply the town with illegal booze. During this time Little Italy was home to some of America’s most infamous historic gurus like Lucky Luciano, Meyer Lansky, and Bugsy Siegel. Their neighborhood was a place where mobsters wined and dined their mistresses through the secret speakeasy bars along Mulberry Street. NoLIta was the place to be for New Yorkers looking to indulge in mischievous behavior for the pursuit of good times. Paved with Gold “I came to America because I heard the streets were paved with gold. When I got there I found out three things. First, they weren’t paved with gold, second, they weren’t paved at all and third, I was expected to pave them.”
— Italian Immigrant, Ellis Island, 1902.
