Feast of San Gennaro

Today was the beginning of the annual festival in Little Italy where cannoli is king and pizza the prince.
Every restaurant on Mulberry had tables on the street
And food and drink stands hawked their wares in between

There were rides
I'm sure it's more exciting at night
These were on sale on every block. I didn't know this was Italy's national drink.
I wish I'd had this picture before tt did "Earnest"
This was my only purchase. Nougat!!
This is the truck that nougat built
That's cash pinned to the religious icon
To each his own
And here's a bit of atmos so you can share the experience wherever you are. Everybody do the Napkin Dance!!

  1. Great post Sheldon ... Just seeing those streets takes me back there eating the best pesto ravioli and creme brûlée and watching the world go by from one of those restaurant windows. Now I'm hungry. It was great to read too that your bday was filled with lots of fun xx
