While "Greetings From Italian America" often takes us to the far-flung corners of the country in search of the uniquely Italian American side of the United States, this time we're staying close to home in the gorgeous little town of Westfield, NJ. This hotbed of Italian culture is often noted for its perfect mix of suburban charm and urban creativity... and we think much of the credit should go to this town's proud Italian American population.

From an artisianal Italian barber pkying his trade for over 40 years, to an old-school pastry shop that always puts the costumers first, to the only place in the Garden State where you can custom-design your own "Made in Italy" shoes, this NJ hotspot is a below-the-radar Mecca for Italian American life!
