He lived his whole life as a proud NYC Italian (it was his brand, really) and was pretty stunned to find out his ancestors had started in New Orleans.
Italian Immigration to Louisiana
A lot of the Sicilians that came, never got to see Ellis Island. I believe there are significant pockets in Jacksonville and Mobile as well, with NOLA getting the lion's share.
