The concept of \"Little Italy\" holds many different aspects of the Italian culture. There are shops selling Italian goods as well as Italian restaurants lining the streets. A \"Little Italy\" strives essentially to have a version of the country of Italy placed in the middle of a large non-Italian city. This sort of enclave is often the result of periods of Italian immigration, during which people of the same culture settled or were ostracized and segregated together in certain areas. As cities modernized and grew, these areas became known for their ethnic associations, and ethnic neighborhoods like \"Little Italy\" blossomed, becoming the icons they are today.","wiki_description":"Little Italy is a neighborhood in Lower Manhattan in New York City, known for its Italian population. It is bounded on the west by Tribeca and Soho, on the south by Chinatown, on the east by the Bowery and Lower East Side, and on the north by Nolita.","day_image":"8497f1d2-abe1-47c9-3274-a89835aee100","address":"","latitude":40.719,"longitude":-73.997,"wiki_latitude":40.719,"wiki_longitude":-73.997,"place_id":"e51f112c9e8d3611ef6c7cbed66b8a11","order":0,"tour_ids":"783990","order_tours":{"783990":0},"colors":["#648a64"],"posts_title":[{"title":"Free Chinatown & Little Italy Tour New York","id":783990}]},{"title":"Manhattan Bridge","wiki_title":"Manhattan Bridge","description":"The Manhattan Bridge is a suspension bridge that crosses the East River in New York City, connecting Lower Manhattan at Canal Street with Downtown Brooklyn at the Flatbush Avenue Extension.

The walk tour was okay, it was informative. I find it a bit misleading when it says it's free but you are supposed to pay gratuity of $30. It did not even elaborate if it was per person. We were group of 5, so we asked the guide Omar how much, he said it's US$30/person..we paid $150, so technically the tour was not free
