Mount Carmel District

The Mt. Carmel District (or Area) is a neighborhood located in the City of Poughkeepsie, New York. The District is named for Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Church. The area has been home to many of Poughkeepsie's new immigrant populations, starting with the Irish, and later the Italians. In recent years the area has experienced an influx of Latino immigrants. The area is still home to several Italian restaurants and bakeries. For this reason it is widely referred to as Poughkeepsie's Little Italy.

Marist College and the Poughkeepsie Train Station are both within walking distance. The historic Poughkeepsie Railroad Bridge runs directly over the District. The Area has seen increased traffic since the bridge reopened as the "Walkway Over the Hudson" in October 2009.
