Happy Father’s Day to all the dads in the world including adopted dads and pet pawrent dads! In honor of father’s day, we are highlighting D. D'Auria and Sons Pork Store in the Little Italy of the Bronx. This amazing pork 
store was in business from 1938 until 2006. Sadly, this mom-and-pop shop was forced to close after its 2nd-generation owner Mike could no longer run the #shop (as told to us by Mike) and no younger family member was interested in taking over the business.
store was in business from 1938 until 2006. Sadly, this mom-and-pop shop was forced to close after its 2nd-generation owner Mike could no longer run the #shop (as told to us by Mike) and no younger family member was interested in taking over the business. The main reason, however, that so many small businesses in NYC close after decades of business is due to a huge rent increase as most owners do NOT own the building their shop is located in. 35mm film photo from 2004 and full interview appear in our book, “Store Front: The Disappearing Face of New York”.
