The sausage & pepper spot I scouted the night before was a few blocks north, so we hit up for a quick slice & rice ball. Everything looked amazing, but I was trying to save a little room for the goodness. Too bad they didn't have any toasted ravioli.
Managing the crowds can be difficult, but there's always something entertaining within eyesight.
Aaah Lucy's. The old standby year to year. You can't beat it. While other spots cut a hero roll in half for their $7.00 sandwich, Lucy's has a whole medium sized hero roll complete with toasted breadcrumbs on the base of the roll. You get a decent log of sausage and the grilled onions & peppers are always fresh with the crazy lines and turnover. All for $8.00.
Onto Ferrara's Cafe for some cannoli's. One chocolate dipped please.
We headed up further north to find a Mozzarepa for my friend's gf. It's a weird corn cake with melted mozzarela in between. Definitely, a street fair oddity. Yummy, but I would have rather gotten another slice.
Afterwards, we walked back down south towards Canal to find a decent gelato spot to wash down all that grease & close out the menu.
Had a great time this year as usual. Got a taste of all the Feast had to offer without killing myself. The ender was a stretch but I love fresh strawberry gelato. Note the half chewed gelato cone in cheek. God Bless the Feast of San Gennaro. See y'all next year!
