When Vegas Diner closed a few years back I knew that Bensonhurst had completely lost its Italian roots. A shame! This is my neighborhood. I remember playing stickball in the streets. The smell of succulent Italian cuisine coming out of the kitchens of many homes. Many memories. All of them good. Oh, by the way, Gravesend was said to come from London, England.

@robertbluni9373 3 года назад

I was born and raised in that neighborhood from 1952-1969. Lived on Bay 14th St. Great memories. Slice and a coke.

I remember Bensonhurst in Bay Parkway in the 1960s...a quiet Italian Jewish neighborhood where I was most happy staying over my aunt's and uncle's apartment close to a golf course beside the bay before the Verrazano bridge even existed. I could see the parachute jump at a distance in Coney Island. I remember Steeplechase park and the exciting horse rides. In 1972 I lived in front of the 18th or 20th Avenue subway station one stop away from Baysaide. I loved the aroma of Italian food or cheeses from the Italian food stores

@Jason.cbr1000rr 2 года назад

Cool! Was there a lot of itlaian mafia guys there at that time??

@juliotorresmontalvo6844 2 года назад

@@Jason.cbr1000rr In 1972 when I lived there I heard news that some thieves broke in a Roman Catholic church to steal a crucifix. The Mafia didn't like that and revenge was at hand until the clergy said that forgiveness will be granted if the individuals return the crucifix. I think they did. I knew an Italian co worker who was invited to a wedding or a birthday of Carlo Gambino by acquaintances connected to the Mafia. Great and friendly people...as long as you don't get into their business. I pray.that my friend Nick Maggi was not in the WTC working before the terrorist attack in 2001. My deceased father in law introduced me to a store keeper who was of the Mafia in Little Italy. A very charming amiable Italian. But dont mess with his business. But if I had a lot of money at that moment I'd buy his cheeses, antipastos, coldcuts and well the whole store. The Italian food aromas makes my mouth water

L&B Spumoni Gardens has the very best Sicilian pizza anywhere. So great that you never see anyone order a regular slice, only the square. And the spumoni is unbelievable. I live on Long Island where there are many pizzarias, yet I'll think nothing of driving the 30 miles to Brooklyn just for pizza and spumoni.

Bensonhurst was not the only section that was the Little Italy of Brooklyn as many mentioned. Dyker Heights is also right next to Bensonhurst and both were all part of the Brooklyn Italy. It is still somewhat Brooklyn's Little Italy as it is now the last large Italian enclave of Brooklyn since many other large Italian enclaves of Brooklyn that once existed have mostly disappeared and the remaining ones are in very few numbers and very tiny. I would say Dyker Heights is the real Brooklyn Little Italy as that section is still majority Italian American with 13th and 11th Avenues still having majority Italian businesses and Italian Americans gathered for shopping needs even though there is an increasing Chinese and other populations coming in. Bensonhurst still has a lot of Italian residents and businesses, but are spread out and mixed with the increasing Chinese and other populations and businesses. Bensonhurst is really more like Chinatown and Little Italy equally intertwined together with smaller Russian, Middle Eastern, and Latino enclaves intermixed. Avenue U in Gravesend just right next to Bensonhurst also still has an Italian shopping business district with many Italian customers walking around. 18th Avenue still has a lot of Italian businesses, but intermixed with a large growing number of Chinese businesses.

I was born and raised there. From 1967 to when I left in 1998. It is so sad to see how so much of it is changed. All the Asians that have taken over. I remember before I left the Asians were starting to come and they were very unfriendly kept to themselves type. Which is the opposite of the Italian neighborhood Bensonhurst and Gravesend was. Then, people said hello to each other. People would stop and chat with neighbors. I am just telling my experience with the neighborhood change. I heard the name Gravesend got it's name from the cemetary in Gravesend. When you follow the length of the cemetary along Bay Parkway, you come to the end of the cematary. Which is the border of Gravesend area. Graves end. No intricate story. Thank you for this video. I've been wondering what the old neighborhood looked like now. Glad to see L&B there. Went there so many times. I see only a few stores still remain from the old days. Supreme Meat, Rainbow, Effie's. In the 80s there was NEVER a day when people weren't cruising down 86th street with the radio blasting. Many hookups were made, I'm sure, lol. And the music blasting was good stuff, freestyle dance, club/house music. Did anyone else go to the school on Stillwell ave, P.S. 248? It was a great school! Great teachers!

I used to live near 86th Street and Bay Parkway as a kid in the 90s. It was a traditionally Italian neighborhood that was changing to become Russian one back then. Then it changed again to become mostly Latino and Chinese one it is now. FYI that Marshals at 3:53? That used to be a movie theater and the owner had some beef with the wise guys and there was a shooting near the theater and it closed and stood empty for over a decade. Wise guys were still around in the 90s in Dykers and Bensonhurst. Good times!

@normankleinberg5525 4 года назад

Yup, I lived there in the 50s/early 60s: Bay 25th St. and then Bay 29th St., both just off 86th St. In fact, in the late 40s/early 50s my parents had a Beauty Parlor over, I think it was, a camera store just off Bay Parkway. I went back there a few years ago and there was a directory using stuck-in plastic letters, you could still see the outline of the name. Of course, everything looked smaller than I remember it. :) Thanks for the video.

@normankleinberg5525 4 года назад

@@mrvk39 I don't know, as I moved out of Bensonhurst in 1963. Look, my memory could easily be faulty but, as I say, when I lived there I distinctly remember the store having a huge recessed area in front of the door. You could walk around under cover looking at the stuff in the windows before ever setting foot in the store itself. In fact, on Saturday/Sunday nights you could hear people sing a cappella because of the way the sound echoed. Frankly, I don't know exactly when I came back but I DO distinctly remember seeing that glass covered directory with the faded outline of the name of my parents' shop. There was also the cavernous "Famous" cafeteria a few doors down (again, I think). Sorry for rambling but, frankly, I just don't know.

Yes, I mourn the exodus of Italians from Bensonhurst. If you've never lived in a community a village, had a home. that is not even recognizable anymore, you will never understand. It's like you came home one day and someone said, "Your mother isn't your mother anymore. You have a new one. Same for your brothers and sister. They've been replaced."

Bensonhurst is a nice area!! I went IS 281 cavallaro since 2002-05 and was okay when I'm not too good at language arts and also I'm doing fantastic job in arts, science and math!!

I find it funny how most of the people clinging on to the "glory days" of Bensonhurst don't even live here anymore. They're whinging on about the Chinese addled with racist undertones. If they did live here, they would know that their so sought-after Italians still exist, just not so much in the section you walked. On the 18th ave corridor in the 60-70th st is where you can see a mix of Italian and Chinese businesses. Even then, calling a neighborhood good just because they have the same background as you is idiotic.

I grew up in Bensonhurst. It has completely changed . All neighborhoods change and in 50 years from now it will change again. Don’t hate on the Asian’s their neighborhood Chinatown is gone also .

Shocking how much it has changed. I loved living there when it was Italian/Jewish in the late 60's.

I have always loved chinese food. From the time I was a little kid in queens. I'm watching this at about 8:00 in the morning, I'm ready for a chinese lunch!
