New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani is facing backlash from the Italian-American community after a newly released map of New York City’s immigrant enclaves left out a key immigrant neighborhood: Little Italy.

The city’s “New York City Immigrant Enclaves” guide highlights 30 neighborhoods across the five boroughs, from Koreatown in Manhattan to Little Pakistan in Brooklyn and Little Yemen in the Bronx. But among the omissions was Little Italy, the iconic Manhattan neighborhood long synonymous with Italian-American culture that remains one of the city’s best-known tourist destinations. The map also excluded notable Irish and Jewish immigrant neighborhoods.

“This is not a clerical error. This is cultural erasure,” Mike Crispi, president of the Italian American Civil Rights League, said. “Little Italy is sacred ground. It is where Italian immigrants came with nothing, worked like hell, opened shops, raised families, built churches, fed the city, and helped make New York what it is.”
