Little Italy

A part of a city that contains many Italian-Americans and retains a lot of Italian culture with it's restaurants and gift shops. The most famous Little Italy is the one in Manhattan, although the amount of Italian-Americans living there has greatly diminished due to the growth of Chinatown in the past years. Other Little Italy's in New York include Bensonhurst, and Arthur Ave. in The Bronx. Other cities with a Little Italy include Baltimore, Cleveland, Chicago and San Diego, and many more in other countries. Some of the best Italian Festivals are held in Little Italy's such as La Festa di San Gennaro in Chicago and Manhattan. Little Italy, Manhattan and Chicago were once home to many crime families in the early 1900's. Overall it is a great place to visit, especially if tu sei italiano!!

An incredibly beautiful and sweet girl. She has a smile that will melt your heart and eyes that you can gaze into for days. Just the sound of her voice can make even the worst of days seem better somehow. Very passionate and an amazing kisser. She is affectionate without being clingy, but even if she was clingy, you wouldn't mind. Her skin is as smooth and supple as the finest silk, and to just be near her is intoxicating...
She's perfect... She's...Italya.
