Encyclopedia > Arthur Avenue

Arthur Avenue in the Bronx is the site of one of New York City's "Little Italies", in the Fordham section of the Bronx. The area near East 187th Street is full of Italian stores, delis, shops, and restaurants, though it has shrunk in recent years due to a high crime rate.


A Bronx Tale was filmed in the area.

While Arthur Avenue made its reputation on shops that have been in the same family for three and four generations, it has somehow mastered the art of celebrating tradition while keeping up with the trends.
Arthur Avenue's business is so steady that Biancardi's, just doors away from two other meat markets, has 14 butchers working on the display floor and more in the basement cutting up veal calves and baby lamb raised on upstate farms specifically for the store.
