Manganaro Grosseria Italiana in Helll's Kitchen was founded in 1893.
Our 35mm photo of Manganaro Grosseria Italiana was taken in 2004 & appears in our book "Store Front: The Disappearing Face of New York".
The family-owned shop had old-fashioned tin ceilings and vintage showcases stocked with Italian food specialties including prosciutto, sausages, olive oil and pasta.
Even though Anthony Bourdain highlighted the shop in 2009, it sadly closed in 2012 although the family owned the building they were located in.
When we interviewed the third-generation owner Linda Dell'Orte for our “Store Front” book she told us that she was the only one left in the family who had any interest in the business.
