Used to go to the San Gennaro’s Feast in Little Italy in lower Manhattan. The zeppole abounded...
Loved that festival—before Cuomo and Kaiser Wilhelm ruined NYC for the time being. Smells of the outdoor cooking would stay in my active recollections for days afterward. I have lots of food-related kitchen decor items bought at the festival. The Catholic service where they bless the statue of Mary before parading it along the street is very beautiful. There is also a tiny storefront Orthodox church up Mulberry street that is open to tourists during the festival. Lovely.
Sadly, my favorite Neapolitan/Sicilian restaurant along Mulberry closed a while back.
