It's Time for the Feast of San Gennaro NYC!

What: Now in its 89th year, Little Italy's Feast of San Gennaro salutes the patron saint of Naples with 11 days of celebrations. One highlight of the traditional Italian-American street fair is the food for sale along Mulberry Street: cannoli, fried dough, fried oreos, torrone (a honey nougat candy usually flecked with almonds) and, of course, sausage-and-pepper sandwiches. (There are even pizza- and cannoli-eating contests.) Aside from the edibles, attendees can enjoy live music and cooking demonstrations.
When: September 10th - 20th, 2015
Where: Little Italy
