This is a photo of St. Anthony - patron saint of the festival (notice the dollar bills at the foot of the statue!)

One of the many street vendors selling wonderful Italian food such as: sausage & peppers, calzones, and pork braciole

For those of you who are unfamiliar with the Italian delicacy of zeppoles - they are basically an Italian donut. Small balls of pizza dough are deep fried. When the dough is cooked, and while it is still hot, place the balls in a paper bag, sprinkle liberally with powdered sugar, close the bag, and shake vigorously for about 10-15 seconds. The result is a melt in your mouth taste of heaven.

While not a great picture - this at least shows the finished product ( I was too busy savoring my own zeppoles to take a picture)

My husband and kiddos visited Little Italy while I was at BEA. They brought back some almond biscotti for me!
ReplyDeleteWow! That looks like a great time - we didn't have time to explore any of the little neighborhoods throughout NY - I need to plan another trip!
ReplyDeleteYou did some fabulous exploring!
ReplyDeleteI love the pictures - and your description of zeppoles is making my mouth water! I hope I'll get a chance to try some when I'm in NY later this summer!
ReplyDeleteI hope someday I will be able to visit New York City. Those are great photos, Molly.
