New York City's Feast of San Gennaro Pictorial

Viva San Gennaro!
New York City's "Little Italy" appeared to stretch all the way to the Empire State Building today as throngs of revelers turned out to celebrate the Saint's feast day.
Southern Italian cuisine and culture still dominates this once thriving Neapolitan stronghold.
In addition to the usual Southern fare, Sicilian torrone is always a crowed favorite.
Another look at the Saint as the procession winds its way through the narrow streets of "Little Italy."
