8:25p - New Icon and Pictures
This icon was inspired by Little Italy's Feast of San Gennaro. San Gennaro, the patron saint of Naples, is honored every year by a procession on Mulberry Street. Rather, he was honored, back when this neighborhood was full of actual Italians who cared about their saints. Today, the martyr is sponsored by Coca-Cola (who can't even spell his name right).
On Thursday night I took some pictures of some of the interestingly non-Italian aspects of the event. There are many quasi-Italian things, of course, like the same zeppole and calzone stands over and over and over again, a couple of nuns walking around, and people hawking Sinatra CDs while playing Sean Paul on their speakers. Quite a bit of it though is not Italian at all.
( Enjoy )
