The Festival of San Gennaro - Little Italy NYC

Took a ride to the train, to hop the subway to walk
a few blocks to Little Italy to the festival where the streets
are lined with all kinds of yummy food.
 Our pals Peggi and Lester who graciously let us camp
in their yard hung out with us on the streets of Little Italy.
 Nothing screams Italian like the colors on this building.
 Just a few of the sights, sounds and smells of all this 
yummy food.
 One of each???


 Made a new friend. LOL!
 Forgot my hat.
 This is the statue of Januarius, Bishop of Benevento and
people stopped to pay their respects.
 While we were in NYC and catching the
train at the WTC we decided to go to the 911 Memorial.
 A lot has changed since we were there, the trees
have grown and as well as the crowds.
 Lots of neat things.
Love this art work.
And there's our motely crew.
 George, Robin Peggi, Lester and Tom
The Jersey sky line in the front and NYC in the back.

It's a cool skyline.
It was fun. 
It would've been more fun if there weren't so many
people involved. LOL.
BIG crowd.
The food was terrific, however, there was a
seriously lack of facilities.
And I had my first gelato. It was delish!

I don't think they missed a ride - Venice Italian festival

And we didn't miss a food booth.
The Italian American club eggplant parmagian was soooo delish-
I wanted to lick the paper plate.
Seriously.







Nick would be proud.
I played around with these photos in lightroom.
Alot of hoop jumping - it took me awhile to get this posted.
It was a beautiful sunny day - the temperature was just right 
and the layout was perfect - lots of places to sit and eat
and lots of room to move around in.
I need to practice with my camera more 
 because there's only so much photoshopping one can do to improve things.
Sun and shade...... although when one is being
flung around on a ride - these action shots aren't so bad.
