How the City draws Little Italy

New York has no official neighborhood boundaries. The Department of City Planning divides the city into statistical areas for its figures and draws special districts for its zoning; the Landmarks Preservation Commission draws historic districts. This page follows the lines that carry the name Little Italy. City Planning's file is for information only and is not a zoning determination for any lot.

Other places the City draws by name in Manhattan: SoHo, NoHo, Hudson Square and Tribeca.
