Ferragosto 2008 - Review from http://www.inabbondanza.com/
- If you missed Ferragosto 2008 in the Belmont area of the Bronx (also known as Little Italy in the Bronx), you missed out on a fun filled cultural event for the entire family.This wasn’t your average Italian street fair; it wasn’t filled with outside vendors that come in, setup shop for the day and then disappear into the night. This was something much more personal. This was a true display of Italian pride; and a true display of community and camaraderie that you seldom see or feel at a street fair in a city of this size. The majority of the “street” vendors at this event were actually neighborhood businesses. Restaurants had their tables outside allowing patrons to dine al fresco in the beautiful weather we all hoped and prayed for. Customers lined up twenty deep to buy fresh zeppole. Meanwhile, there was plenty of activity over at Cosenza’s Fish Market where patrons enjoyed raw seafood specialties; and the businesses from the Arthur Avenue Retail Market (Mike’s Deli) were out in full force too - selling fresh grilled sausage, pinwheels, and roast suckling pig, among a variety of the other Italian specialty food products.(Read More)
