Little Italy is a | Little Italy is a neighborhood in southern [[Algonquin]], [[Liberty City in GTA IV Era|Liberty City]]. It is bordered to the north by Feldspar Street and to the west by Liberty Lane ([[Suffolk]]); to the south by Emerald Street ([[City Hall (Liberty City)|City Hall]]); and to the east by [[Columbus Ave|Columbus Avenue]] ([[Lower Easton]]). These borders make Little Italy the smallest neighborhood in all of Liberty City and ''Grand Theft Auto IV'' in general. | ||
Little Italy | ===Character=== | ||
Little Italy, being an Italian enclave, has a heavy presence of the [[The Commission|Italian Mafia]]. It gives the impression of being an "old-world" neighborhood with its cobbled, narrow streets. As with many of the older, immigrant-heavy neighborhoods in the city, the neighborhood features a number of pre-war style tenements, with many alleyways intersecting the short city blocks. Most of the neighborhood's aforementioned restaurants are clustered along Brown Place, whereas Denver Avenue serves as the main commercial strip. | |||
===Places of Interest== | |||
Little Italy, being so small, does not have many places of interest of its own. [[Drusilla's]], an Italian restaurant, is located near the intersection of Feldspar Street and Denver Avenue. [[Kiki Jenkins]], one of the women Niko is able to date, owns an apartment on Feldspar Street between Brown Place and Denver Avenue. Finally, in [[Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars]], the leader of the Triads, [[Hsin Jaoming]], owns a penthouse in the neighborhood. | |||
Despite not having many places of interest, Little Italy is in proximity to many attractions in other neighborhoods, such as the [[Rotterdam Tower]] in Suffolk and the [[Civic Citadel]] in City Hall. | |||

===Influence=== | |||
Little Italy is a direct copy of Manhattan's [[wp:Little Italy, Manhattan|Little Italy]] neighborhood. Everything about the GTA IV neighborhood (obviously its name, its size, its cobbled streets, the heavily Italian presence, its architecture) is reminiscent of the actual neighborhood. | |||
===Transportation== | |||
While Little Italy is not directly served by the [[Liberty City Subway]], there are two stations within proximity of the neighborhood. The [[Suffolk LTA|Suffolk]] station on the [[K/C Algonquin Inner Line]] is located on Garnet Street between Back Passage and Ersatz Row in its namesake neighborhood; the station is underneath the Rotterdam Tower and as such, is a popular stop for tourists wishing to visit it. | |||
The [[Feldspar LTA|Feldspar]] station on the [[A/J Algonquin Outer Line]] is located at the intersection of Emerald Street, Frankfort Aveue, and Union Drive West, at the borders of [[Castle Garden City]], City Hall, and Suffolk. | |||
===Trivia== | |||
*Little Italy is a good spot to find the rare [[Sentinel XS]], because of the Italians that drive them. | |||
