Little Italy is a 3-block neighborhood in Grand Theft Auto IV, Grand Theft Auto: Episodes from Liberty City and Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars located in the southern region of Algonquin, Liberty City.
Description[]
It is located in southern Algonquin, Liberty City. It is bordered to the north by Feldspar Street (Suffolk); to the south by Emerald Street (Chinatown); to the east by Columbus Ave (Lower Easton), and to the west by Liberty Lane (City Hall). These borders make Little Italy the smallest neighborhood in the entire Liberty City metropolitan area.
Little Italy, being an Italian enclave, has a heavy presence of the Italian Mafia. It gives the impression of being an "old-world", working-class neighborhood with its cobbled, narrow streets. As with many of the older, old immigrant-heavy neighborhoods in the city, the neighborhood features a number of pre-war style tenements, with many alleyways intersecting the short city blocks. Most of the neighborhood's aforementioned restaurants are clustered along Brown Place, where as Denver Avenue serves as the main commercial strip.
Influence[]
Little Italy is a rendition of Little Italy, Manhattan. Everything about the GTA IV neighborhood (obviously its name, its size, its cobbled streets, the heavily Italian presence, its architecture) is reminiscent of the actual neighborhood.
