Feast of San Gennaro 2018 (9/21/2018)

For 11 days every year, the Feast of San Gennaro comes to Little Italy, transforming the neighborhood into a celebration of Italian culture and cuisine. This past Friday, NYEA led our students slightly uptown to join the festivities. The group left school shortly after 1:30 and headed north toward Water St. We first passed through Chinatown and got a glimpse of the Chinese food and culture before finally stepping onto the corner of Canal and Mulberry Streets, and the start of Little Italy. Right away, we recognized the large crowd of noisy people at the San Gennaro Feast and headed over. After walking down the street full of food and games, along with shopping opportunities, some of us decided to indulge in a delicious sandwich of sausage and peppers. We ended the trip by going to a nearby park to sit down and finish our meal.
