Also known as Little Italy this area boasts a large population of Italian Americans. Besides being able to find great Italian food in this neighborhood there are lots of other great attractions to be found.

A Christopher Columbus statue can be found at Arrigo Park on Loomis Street.

The Italian American Sports Hall of Fame can also be found here, graced by a statue of none other than Joe DiMaggio.

The Shrine of Our Lady of Pompeii (on Lexington and Lytle Streets) was the neighborhoods first Italian Church. It was built in 1910 and it's statuary and stained glass are beautiful. It is still an active church but all visitors are welcome.
