An Enclave of 100 year old Italian shops
Since the ’70s, Italians moved away from Arthur Avenue—but they always come back for food shopping. The butchers, bakers, and fishmongers here still do things the old-school way. The Shopping & Tasting Tour is your initiation into this New York City ritual. You’ll taste fresh-filled cannoli, just-baked bread, and hand-pulled mozzarella along the way and hear the stories behind every bite.
The last stop is Mario’s, a beloved spot since 1919, for an Italian American feast of fried calamari, meatballs, ravioli made at Borgatti's, and the legendary off-the-menu pizza.
This tour runs every Saturday at 11 am and during the week by appointment.

"We walked through all the stores, and it was this giant, happy sensory overload. Every business had such a sense of history, and every item had a personality."
