It is difficult to understand why Arthur Avenue in the Bronx and Little Italy in Manhattan—two of the nation's most iconic Italian-American communities—were excluded as areas of interest despite their extraordinary historical, cultural, and economic significance. Why?
Surprising that two of America’s most iconic Italian-American neighborhoods Arthur Avenue and Little Italy were overlooked on a map of immigrants.They are not only major economic engines but living landmarks of the Italian-American experience and invaluable NYC cultural assets
Today, on the birthday of our great country, I am reminded of my immigrant father. He was a proud Italian who always taught us to be grateful for the opportunities America gave our family. His love for his heritage was matched only by his love for this nation.
God bless America.
I am deeply saddened by the passing of my dear friend Frank Guarini. He was a man of extraordinary kindness, wisdom, and generosity whose friendship enriched the lives of so many. I will always be grateful for his friendship and kindness to me. RIP
In a world filled with so much strife, hatred, and disrespect, we could all learn something from the gentle soul of Ernie Anastos. He was the epitome of kindness, respect, and genuine care for people. Often said but never more true—Ernie Anastos was a class act in every way. RIP.
Like so many I am heartbroken to learn of the passing of Earnie Anastos. I was blessed to know him as a friend. He was down to earth, compassionate, kind and gracious and professionally the most respected news anchor. My deepest condolences to his family. May he RIP.
My deepest condolences on the passing of my dear friend, Rocco Commisso. My thoughts and prayers are with his wife, Catherine, and their children. A great Italian American who lived the American dream through hard work and passion, including his love for his Fiorentina team. RIP.
Happy Hanukkah.
Wishing all my friends eight nights filled with light, peace, and joy.May antisemitism never be tolerated, and may we stand together in hope, respect, and celebration with our dear Jewish friends during this very special time of year. Chag Sameach!
The time is NOW and if you truly love our city you need to cast your vote for Andrew Cuomo. This is not a race between Socialist Democrat or Republican. This is a vote for the survival of NYC. These are not empty words but reality for the future of the city we love.
Zohran Mamdani wants to stop Columbus Day, remove statues dedicated to the singular achievement of the world’s greatest explorer. With his pointed middle finger prominently on display, he wants to humiliate and marginalize Italian Americans.
Zohran Mamdani must apologize NOW!
Vote with common sense for the person who answers all the questions and will deliver on day one what is best for all New Yorkers and that is Andrew Cuomo. Make your vote count by voting for Andrew Cuomo, the person who can deliver the leadership that NYC needs in our next Mayor.
I recently submitted applications for Columbus Circle and the statue in Astoria to the Landmark Preservation Commission for Landmark status. I received notice confirming my applications. Let’s hope we can be successful by the end of this year or sooner.
Happy Columbus Day!!!
I am sure that Joe D the class guy that he was is applauding another class act Aaron Judge’s great accomplishment of surpassing him in HRs. That being said there is only one Joe D and his 46 game hitting streak that in my view will never be broken.
Go Yankees!!!

I am profoundly saddened by the horrific killing of two innocent staff members of the Israeli Embassy in D.C. This senseless act of violence is not only a tragedy for their family and love ones but also to the values of all peace loving people. My prayers to their families. P
It was a honor to kiss Pope Francis’s hand when he visited the residence of the Nuncio in NYC in 2015. Serving the saintly Pope for 3 days was a privilege that I will never forget. May he Rest in Peace.
