Tuesday evening, my confratelli and I broke bread at Song’ e Napule restaurant (146 W Houston St.) in celebration of the Feast of San Gerardo Maiella. Burning the candle at both ends of late, sharing a few laughs with good friends over an enjoyable meal while venerating our glorious patron was a much needed respite from the hustle and bustle of our increasingly unrecognizable city.
One of our favorite Neapolitan hotspots in Manhattan, our celebratory meal included burrata with arugula and prosciutto, frittatina di pasta napoletane, polpo alla griglia over beans, and lasagna napoletana. All delicious, the hearty dishes paired well with the bottles of aglianico del vulture we imbibed. Dolce and caffé rounded off the sumptuous repast.
Satiated, but not ready to say goodnight, our party took a leisurely stroll through the brisk autumn night, stopping briefly outside nearby St. Anthony of Padua Church (155 Sullivan St.), to walk-off our meal and shoot the breeze.
Though a modest tribute to the saint, all in all it was a memorable evening replete with fellowship and devotion. Viva San Gerardo!
