At the turn of the century many Italian immigrants settled in the lower east side of Manhattan into what is now known as Little Italy. What started as a 1 day “block party” in 1926 celebrating the patron saint of Naples, Saint Gennaro, the San Gennaro festival now spans 11 blocks for 11 days in September. For decades this festival has highlighted the proud Italian heritage and the world famous food Little Italy is known for. Vendors with raw clams, oysters, all manner of fried seafood and Italian delectables line the streets allowing visitors from all parts of the world to enjoy outdoor beer, wine and a taste of NYC History.
