44. Little Italy

Being Italian, I have a soft spot for all things delicious.  That being said, heading down to Little Italy with your little ones is a great family evening.  I don't recommend going on a Friday or Saturday night, just so that you can keep your sanity!  But we love to go down, order a pizza from Mama Santa's, eat it at the play ground, play for a while then wander over to Presti's Bakery for some gelato or a cookie (or two or four...shh!).  It's a wonderful, fun, relatively inexpensive, delicious family evening!
