Street art & Graffiti in Little Italy – NYC

Little Italy in downtown Manhattan is a neighborhood that attracts a lot of tourists and offers a large concentration of souvenir shops and traditional Italian food. Today there are very few Italians left in the neighborhood and it is merged with Chinatown. The neighborhood is full of spectacular graffiti on almost every corner.

Beyond a walk through the streets of the neighborhood, it is recommended to visit Freeman Alley – a small alley rich in graffiti by artists from all over the world. In addition, in Little Italy, you will find many works related to the LISA project: It is a non-profit organization (The LISA Project NYC) that aims to gather a wide variety of graffiti artists in the neighborhood and dedicate the neighborhood / area to spectacular murals.

CitizenM Bowery Hotel New York - MoSA

At the edge of the neighborhood you can visit a unique graffiti gallery held at the CitizenM New York Bowery.
The gallery is located in the stairwell of the hotel and it is recommended to take the elevator to the top floor and go down all the floors on foot. Each floor is dedicated to a different artist and the experience created by descending this unique staircase is creative and exciting. https://www.citizenm.com/mosa

About Me

My name is Dror Hadadi and I have always loved and been drawn to graffiti and street art – to language, color, subversion and art. Urban art, which exists in public space 24/7, fascinates and captivates my heart.

Graffiti and street art are a free ticket to a global exhibition, which is constantly changing, growing and developing. Graffiti creates and drives an artistic dialogue between the passerby and architecture and urban life. Sometimes graffiti disrupts, harms and etch its presence on the wall. Sometimes it brings the public wall to life, allowing us a colorful and exciting glimpse into the artist’s private world – and into our own world as viewers. In both cases, in graffiti and street art, an immediate communication and dialogue is created between the viewer and the message left for him on the wall. Graffiti and street art that takes place in the urban-public space, maintains a dialogue with us on a daily basis, and allows us to communicate with the space closest to us, which serves as a setting for our living environment and life in the urban space.

Enjoy!
