New York<\/a> Mayor Zohran Mamdani<\/a> called out the administration of former Mayor Eric Adams<\/a> for the uproar over a city immigrant<\/a>-neighborhood map that left out Italian, Irish, and Jewish communities.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The city\u2019s tourism and marketing organization, New York City Tourism + Conventions, promoted the graphic on its website<\/a>, titled \u201cNew York City: A Cultural Map.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cCheck out NYC neighborhoods home to thriving international communities and cultures,\u201d the image caption said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The map is sourced by the NYC Mayor\u2019s Office of Immigrant Affairs.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Notably, the map includes Little Palestine, Little Pakistan, and Little Haiti, but some of the more widely known communities, such as Little Italy, were left off, and it did not mention any Jewish or Irish neighborhoods.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Italian American Civil Rights League posted on X<\/a>, sharing a news conference of the mayor, who said the map was made during the previous administration.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThis map was initially created by the prior administration in 2023, and when we inherited it, we added a few additional neighborhoods,\u201d Mamdani said on Friday. \u201cIt\u2019s clearly not an exhaustive list of the more than 200 ethnic communities that call our city home, and we\u2019re going to be making additional changes in the future to reflect that, and that includes adding Little Italy to the map.\u201d<\/p>\n

The civil rights group also posted before the mayor<\/a> made the announcement, saying, \u201cWe were here before Zohran. We will be here long after Zohran. Little Italy will NOT be erased.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

It had also said it would hold a rally<\/a> in the heart of Little Italy.<\/p>\n

The Washington Examiner contacted Mamdani\u2019s office for comment and asked when the new map would be released.<\/p>\n
