I found out about the Feast of San Gennaro through my best friends, Serious Eats & Timeout NY, and away i went.
There were plenty of interesting street stalls and later on a short parade.
I had my first fried Oreo! and it was good !! All melted in the center & gooey, i sensed the beginnings of a slippery food slope of fried Snickers, and other fried candy bars.
Safely seated in a cafe that was just next to the parade, i ordered my first cannoli (and possibly my last), and started taking photos.
(Sweet vanilla cream covered in a pastry. I couldn't finish it )
It started with a student marching band ..
Ms Colorado (or something similar turned up)
With sulky little school kids in front ..
Followed by a scary mascot - a man with a rubber mask & a dirty apron .... I still didn't get what the hell was that about?
More bands..
And the Saint, himself, completing the parade home for the year.
The parade was a pretty strange experience... but the street fair was fun !
