Little Italy, Baltimore

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Little Italy, is a neighborhood located in Baltimore, Maryland, United States.

Situated just east of the Inner Harbor, it boasts one of the city's busiest restaurant districts. It is so named because of large number of Italian immigrant families that moved into the area during the late 19th century and early 20th century. The neighborhood is still home to a large and active Italian ethnic community. Located near newly desirable neighborhoods like Fells Point and HarborEast, Little Italy's housing market is very hot, not least because turnover is low in the tight-knit community.

Little Italy is only a few blocks from the Shot Tower/Marketplace station on the Baltimore Metro Subway and the southern terminus of the Jones Falls Expressway (I-83).
