Arthur Avenue...original or Little Italy redux?

Two days spent along Arthur Avenue...
Vibe: definite appeal, less tourists than Little Italy

Palombo Pastry - where the real Italians go to sip espresso



Assorted pastries
Cosenza's - freshly shucked on the street


$1 clams (opt for littleneck clams; cherrystones too big and chewy) $2.50 oysters


Full Moon - chalk full of Fordham co-eds; exceptionally good calzone, but forgettable pizza

Rigelotto's - Neapolitan style restaurant with cheesy murals painted everywhere, but surprisingly good food that tasted better the day after

Bruschetta

Eggplant Parmigiana

Chicken Scarpariello (chicken with Italian sausages)

Pasta Carbonnara


Fresh breads

Cheese mongers

The butcher

Pastry shoppe
