Actual Italians haven’t lived in Little Italy for generations, it’s just an open air museum for tourists. It’s not a real neighborhood. If you want good Italian food without throngs of tourists surrounding you, go to Arthur avenue in the Bronx
i just want to point out… the amount of money the U.S. has spent on war in the last 2.5 months is roughly the same cost that Bernie Sanders proposed for universal college. so the real question is never ‘can we afford it’… it’s what we choose to prioritize.
