A map released by New York City designed to showcase the city's immigrant neighbourhoods drew criticism after it failed to include Little Italy, a historic Italian American enclave. Actor Robert Davi publicly rebuked Mayor Zohran Mamdani's administration over the oversight, prompting wider discussion about the exclusion.

The incident sparked debate over whether the city's efforts to document immigrant communities adequately acknowledged Italian American contributions and heritage. Critics contended that the omission represented a significant gap in recognising one of New York's most established ethnic neighbourhoods and questioned why a neighbourhood with such cultural significance had been left off the map.
