There is a Little Poland in New York. It is a name for a neighborhood within the Greenpoint section of Brooklyn. Many Polish immigrants settled in this area after 1900, and the area remains a hub for Polish culture and businesses to this day.

Yes. There are two major Polish neighborhoods in New York City, one one the Lower East Side of Manhattan and the other in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. Greenpoint has informally been called "Little Poland" since the beginning of the 20th Century. It has the second largest concentration of Polish Americans after Chicago.
