Ravenite Club

ABOUT US
Since 1999 We have been working to preserve the recipes of Italian & Sicilian origins.
The task is endless, but we hope you find something of value here.

NOLITA is an area “North of Little Italy” which has gotten swallowed up and blends into the rest of Manhattan’s Lower East Side.
It was once home to countless Italian and Sicilian immigrants who came here around the 1900s.
Soon the immigrants left this area to the more affordable and less chaotic suburbs of New York & New Jersey.
The Ravenite Club stood as the Old Guard of the neighborhood until that too fell to urban progress and gentrification.
We hope this website serves as the virtual old guard of what was once one of the most colorful neighborhoods in the United States
by preserving the culture, food, recipes, and yes, some colorful stories as well.
