#project365 [day 69] Little Italy
The late Italian Food Center, now Gelso & Grand, in the middle of NYC's Little Italy is one of those iconic Lower Manhattan buildings that shines. With it's distinctive, and possibly soon to be extinct, external fire escape, beautiful red brick facadeand the glass frames on the ground level. The rusted sign left by the new owners adds a lot to the character of the whole building.
Little Italy itself is changing a lot, what was once known for its large population on Italian, is now being taken over by the expanding neighboring Chinatown, with only a few Italian stores and restaurants still surviving.
