Little Italy: Difference between revisions

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, 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.

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.

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.
