San Gennaro is a yearly festival held in Manhattan and other cities. Nobody I know enjoys much about it but the food. There are a ton of booths selling lots of meaningless stuff, but the focus is really Italian food.
Fortunately, the food can be really, really good. It ranges from street food to outdoors cafe-style seating at famous restaurants. We indulged in the street food (sausage sandwich), then sat down for dessert.
Both were outstanding!
Dessert was at Ferrara's, a well known place. You can't lose here! You could either sit down and relax or grab something from their booth.
Also there was way more than enough nougat to go around.
We continued down Mulberry until we reached Chinatown. We really love the food stands there. Everything is so fresh and beautiful!
Well, I have a reputation for taking pictures of architecture rather than family. So, Pickle, pictured here with her Mom (E), asked if I would take a picture of them if they made like a door. So, here they are holding their hands like door handles.
And here they are as open doors. We all have weird senses of humor.
As we crossed the street looking for the subway, this lady was waving, whistling, dancing around the intersection, trying to keep the traffic moving.
So then we went up to the Guardian Angels street fair. All seventeen of them were there, including Curtis Sliwa, the founder.
We were getting closer to 42nd Street, having walked down from 57th. So, we finished up walking down to 34th Street and Penn Station, via the garment district.
It was a nice day, especially getting to see Pickle. New York street fairs are getting a little old, though.
