Well I just came back from the feast..and let me name off what i had to eat:rofl Sweet Italian Sausage on a roll with Onions and Peppers 2 Rice balls with Marinara (Rice balls with bread crumbs and chesse...rolled and fried) Bowl of Calamari with Hot Marinara Some Dessert thing with whip cream Zeppoli Brought home 4 Rice Balls with sauce for dinner tomorrow And included is a pic of the saint himself....that i took with a camera phone.
I hate going to chinatown/little italy on the weekends, but today was even worse than usual. Ive never been to the feast...so this was my first year. Would literally stand in line and not move for five minutes at a time.
Yeah, I used to go almost every year. Then I moved away from the city for a while. I went again a couple years ago for the first time in many years and the feast seemed much smaller and much more confined in area. I don't know why, maybe the shrinkage of Little Italy has something to do with it. In the past, there was pleanty of room to roam around in. Its kind of a shame. Jordan
The majority of the feast is on Mulberry. It branches off a couple of the streets...but for the most part...all 100k of people are on mulberry.
Mulberry street, makes me think of Pacino in Donnie Brasco "In all the five boroughs, I'm known.......Fugggeddaboudit" ::
Thanks for posting, I always like going to the feast when I lived in the city. I can taste the sausage now.
