Mayor Zohran Mamdani has faced criticism after releasing a map titled "New York City Immigrant Enclaves," which highlights 30 ethnic neighborhoods across the city but omits historic Little Italy, as well as other Irish and Jewish immigrant areas. The map includes neighborhoods such as Koreatown, Little Pakistan, and Little Yemen. Critics, including Councilwoman Joann Ariola and Joseph Scelsa, founder of the Italian-American Museum, expressed disappointment over the exclusion of Little Italy, emphasizing its historical significance and the presence of Italian-Americans in the city. A City Hall spokesperson clarified that the map focuses on neighborhoods with substantial foreign-born populations and is not intended to represent religious groups. The guide aims to showcase the diverse cultures of New York City and is part of a series initiated during the previous administration, with plans to include more neighborhoods in the future.
