In 1999, Dr. Joseph V. Scelsa felt the history of Italian Americans needed a home after a temporary New-York Historical Society exhibit captured the community’s achievements and contributions. After a stint in a CUNY facility in midtown, Scelsa packed up his artifacts, signed a lease at the location of the former Banca Stabile, a bank patronized by Italian immigrants and opened the single-room Italian American Museum in 2008.

But over the years, the restaurant spun into gimmicky territory, popular with tourists, but a trap to locals. But now, the Times Square destination will transform into an upscale dining restaurant, evoking the vibrant nightlife of historic New York.
