Local vacations

How much does your city offer?
Do you take advantage of the local culture, cuisine, and events often?

Since our return from San Francisco last month, we have been busy spending our weekends enjoying the local activities and street fairs.  Fall in the NYC/northeast region is wonderful!  There are great street fairs, like the widely known San Gennaro Feast in NYC's Little Italy, to attend.  These fairs have tons of food.  All the yummy Italian restaurants are serving up their classic dishes to both local and visiting tourists.  And, oh my, the desserts!  The feast starts with the traditional Annual Cannoli Eating Competition and desserts and sweets are available throughout the 10 day feast from numerous street vendors and local bakeries.



For those visiting, please note that IT WILL BE CROWDED.  So, plan accordingly.
To avoid crowds, go during the week or early in the day.
If you are visiting with more than 4 people, it will be difficult to stay together as you navigate the crowded, narrow streets.  Set up a time and place to meet if you get separated.  It is best to arrange to meet on a side street off of Mulberry Street.  There are some memorable spots off of Mulberry worth stopping by too... Fan of rice pudding? Rice to Riches is the place to go!

Talk more soon....
