    PHOTOSTORY - Cannoli @ the San Gennaro Feast in Little Italy (Manhattan)

    (September 23, 2011)
    San Gennaro may be the beloved namesake of the annual feast in Manhattan's Little Italy, but it's the world-famous cannoli eating contest that is among its most venerated highlights. The 85th Annual San Gennaro Feast, New York City’s longest-running, biggest and most revered religious outdoor festival in the United States, is held Thursday, September 15, through Sunday, September 25, 2011, on the streets of historic Little Italy, the lower Manhattan neighborhood which served as the first home in America for hundreds of thousands of Italian immigrants who came here seeking to improve their lives beginning in the early part of the 20th century.

    The San Gennaro Feast is Approaching ... Or is it Two of Them?

    Patrizia Orioli(September 12, 2011)
    The 85th Annual Feast of San Gennaro, New York City’s longest-running, biggest and most revered religious outdoor festival in the United States, will be held Thursday, September 15, through Sunday, September 25, 2011, on the streets of historic Little Italy--the lower Manhattan neighborhood which served as the first home in America for hundreds of thousands of Italian immigrants in the early part of the 20th century. This year however, there also are those who want to celebrate San Gennaro their own way by respecting tradition but progressing with our ever changing times. In the northernmost block of the San Gennaro Feast (at Mulberry Street between Prince and Houston Streets) an innovative cultural and interactive program has been devised.

    Authentic Little Italy: Che Cos’è?

    Jerry Krase(January 12, 2008)
    Is there an “authentic” Little Italy, and if there is, what does it look like? To the first part of the question, I say "No." The second part is more complex, as Italian neighborhoods real and imagined, are presented as spectacles for tourists and unfortunately are seen as representations of “real” Italian Americans.

    The Prince of Grand Street

    Michael Anstendig(September 24, 2007)

Two phones ring non-stop, the cash register clangs, four employees cut, slice and wrap orders of cheese and cured meats and customers are lined up nearly out the door, because four employees called in sick. Yet despite the apparent chaos, owner Lou DiPalo is unruffled, even serene. He looks tenderly at an elderly customer across the counter and in a hush voice assures, “Call me Friday. Tomorrow I’m making...
