Little Italy hasn't really been Little Italy for about 30 years, New York magazine says. The latest Census data shows that Italian ancestry is claimed by only 8.25 percent of people living in Little Italy, which it describes as "50 or so restaurants and cafes catering to tourists, covering a dense neighborhood of tenements shared by recent Chinese immigrants, young Americans who can't afford SoHo and a few remaining real live Italians."
