It may have crowds, but Ferragosto is THE NYC Italian festival to go to. Why? It's simply that this festival, unlike San Gennaro, still has heart. You feel like family there. There's no Times Square characters busking for money, instead, the streets are lined with restaurant extensions, roasting pigs, wine samples, and the crooning sounds of wonderful opera and folk Italian singers.
It feels like how I grew up. Loud, but not obnoxious, crowded but not suffocating, and most importantly, authentic. The food is to die for and many of the local business do samples. You'll drool over Teitel's prosciutto, what La Cantina has to offer in their wine selection,and gelato will also be passed around the street.
It may be tough to find parking, but just go!Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 2Oh no 0 - Sep 12, 2021
Ferragosto is one of the most celebrated holidays in Italy. It goes back to the Roman Empire in 18 BC when Emperor Augustus declared the whole month of August, named after himself, would be a month long food & wine festival
Our favorite NYC festival. The streets are closed, there are many performers & restaurants are preparing specialties outdoors. Music is wonderful, food, desserts & drinks. An afternoon of fun!
In previous years, they were more street performers, politicians and vendors. This year there wasn't wine tasting, pigs on spits, lottery, politicians...Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 2Oh no 0
