The performance stage on Grand and Mott Streets features concerts and radio broadcasts in the evenings and cooking demonstrations, food and wine tastings daily from 2 to 4 PM.

We began with sausage and pepper subs, worked our way through the pizza and pasta while still managing to leave enough room for the zeppoles (fried dough dusted with powdered sugar) and making a stop at Ferrara\u2019s Bakery on Grand Street for cannolis (flaky fried pastry filled with sweet ricotta cream filling)to go. If we were lucky enough to go back for a second day, we couldn\u2019t leave without going to Umberto\u2019s Clam House on Mulberry Street for baked clams and linguine with clam sauce. What can I say &#8211; Italians dream about food! Although I no longer live in the northeast, every time I cook sausage and peppers for my family it brings me back to my childhood and fond memories of the Feast of San Gennaro.<\/p>\n<p>The festival takes place on Mulberry, Hester and Grand Streets, from 11:30 am to 11:30 pm and stays open until midnight on Fridays and Saturdays.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here&#8217;s another post from Customer Service Agent Michele on one of her favorite travel memories!
