I think even Actor Frank Vincent owns a restaurant called Rao's in the "Little Italy" area. If you guys know of any other cool spots to see in NYC let me know. Thank you and much respect.

Not to rain on your parade, but:
You should visit Little Italy, but don't overexpect. There isn't much left of Little Italy because Chinatown has taken over more and more of what used to be a solidly Italian neighborhood. The legendary Rao's isn't in Little Italy--it's on East 114th Street in East Harlem, at least 5 miles north. You can't walk into Rao's and expect to get a meal. They are very, very snobby about who they let in. Regulars have tables that aren't shared. You'd probably have to make a reservation months in advance, and even then you probably wouldn't get in, unless you're "connected" to a regular. Sonny Grosso, one of the real-life French Connection cops, has a table there.

Don't miss Greenwich Village and Rockefeller Center.

Ntra la porta tua lu sangu � sparsu,
E nun me mporta si ce muoru accisu...
E s'iddu muoru e vaju mparadisu
Si nun ce truovo a ttia, mancu ce trasu.
