RE: Market Friday - Feast of San Gennaro, Little Italy, New York

in #marketfriday5 years ago

I loved your post!!!! I wanted to be there with you!!! Oh, you gutsy woman! When I am a shoulder to shoulder with the crowd in NYC, I usually carry a purse that at least zips! :) That comes from years of working there, but, you also lived there too. So, you have more cajones than I do.

Oh, my!!! My mother made pepper and onions along with sausages every single weekend. Period. Never a doubt about it. And yes!! Yummy delicious, right? The best thing about these Italian Feasts is that there is always amazing food! Right?

You just can't help yourself. I usually eat my weight in food. I swear! There is nothing like them and NYC (or Connecticut to be fair) but, the crowds are triple in New York. Connecticut just has more feasts. I swear they have started making them up.

You outdid yourself and now I want to eat this post. Oh, wait!!! I forgot the cannoli!

#MarketFriday loves you!

Thank you 😊 I am not very gutsy 😂 but I was feeling brave because I wasn’t alone. I get anxious in the crowds lately. I guess it is a part of getting older. I used to work in NYC for and commute, but that was 10 years ago.

And yes, I am a foodie too. I don’t eat huge quantities, but I like to taste everything. At this Feast I started with a pistachio cannoli that I swallowed it right away! Then I had a few bites of a sausage and pepper sandwich, and other stuff 😂 that I shared with my daughter.

I’ve never been to Connecticut. I must plan a trip, it is not far from us, maybe a holiday weekend. When is a good time to visit? Looking for food fest too.

Thanks again @dswigle Denise, I am Liana. 🥰

Well, as I live in Washington, DC now, I don't know about all the little festivals, but one of the big ones (The Seafood Festival in the Norwalk Harbor) is a big one with yummy eats! was on Labor Day. I never missed that one, but, over the years has gotten a little commercial. I love the Church Festivals that celebrate the Feasts!

Here I pulled off a list of some as they get more and more every year! Look here

My favorite involve Italian or seafood. :) Of course, the food truck one in NYC is so awesome, the one in Connecticut cannot compete! Well, if you get antsy in crowds, I will have to say that you did really well then, New York in the dark can be daunting. Some days. I was never worried when I worked there, but, I am older and smarter than I was then!

Thanks, Liana!!! I hope you have a fabulous Sunday! I am going to ask my sister what good ones she has heard of lately!

Mwah!

Awesome, thank you so much1!
