HIDDEN GEM

Petrosino Square

A tiny triangular park named for Joseph Petrosino, the first Italian-American police officer killed in the line of duty, murdered in Sicily in 1909 while investigating the Mafia. It's really just a sliver of benches between Soho and Little Italy, but the story behind the name is bigger than the park itself.
