[WATCH] James and Karla Murray Explore New York City: East Village Taste of Italy

Local pro photographers James and Karla Murray (previously) just launched a new YouTube series in which they explore neighborhoods around New York City from their unique perspective. In this first episode, watch as they give you a tour of the East Village and the "taste of Little Italy" you can find there.

In this episode we experience a taste of Italy in New York City's East Village as we visit local independently-owned shops including Veniero's Pasticerria, Russo's Mozzarella & Pasta and Motorino Pizzeria. We also highlight local architecture, street art and vendors. If you enjoy this video, give it a thumbs up and click the subscribe button.
